repeat this procedure if necessary.
Adjusting the Cut-Off Bar
Adjust the cut-off bar to ensure that the clippings are
cleanly discharged from the reel area, as follows:
Note:
The bar is adjustable to compensate for
changes in turf conditions. Adjust the bar closer to
the reel when the turf is extremely dry. By contrast,
adjust the bar further away from the reel when the turf
conditions are wet. The bar should be parallel to the
reel to ensure optimum performance. Adjust it after
the reel is sharpened on a reel grinder.
1. Loosen the bolts securing the top bar ( Figure

2. Insert a 1.5 mm (0.060 inch) feeler gauge
between the top of the reel and the bar then
tighten the bolts.
Important:
Ensure that the bar and reel are
equal distance apart across the complete
reel.
Note:
Adjust the gap as needed for your turf
conditions.
