3. Hook screw head on cutting edge of bedknife and rest
rear end of bar on rear roller (Fig. 15).

4. Rotate adjusting screw until roller contacts front of
gauge bar. Adjust both ends of roller until entire roller
is parallel to the bedknife.
Important
When set properly, the rear and front rollers
will contact the gauge bar and the screw will be snug
against the bedknife. This ensures that the height-of-cut is
identical at both ends of the bedknife.
5. Tighten nuts to secure adjustment. Do not overtighten
nut. Tighten enough to remove play from washer.
Note: Use the following chart to determine which bedknife
is best suited for the desired height of cut.

2. Insert .060 inch feeler gauge between top of reel and
bar and tighten screws. Ensure bar and reel are equal
distance apart across complete reel.
Note: The bar is adjustable to compensate for changes in
turf conditions. The bar should be adjusted closer to reel
when turf is extremely dry. By contrast, adjust bar further
away from reel when turf conditions are wet. The bar
should be parallel to reel to ensure optimum performance
and should be adjusted whenever reel is sharpened on a reel
grinder.
