CAUTION
Contact with the reel, bedknife, or other cutting unit parts can result

Installing the Reel Assembly
1. Clean the side plates and other cutting unit components. Inspect the side
plates for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
Note: Check that the grease seals on the cutting reel shaft are flush to 1.5
mm (0.060 inch) away from the retaining ring on the reel shaft. If necessary,
adjust the position of the grease seals for proper clearance.
2. Make sure that grease seals and bearings are properly greased and
positioned on cutting reel (see Reel Assembly Service in this section). Apply
thin coat of grease to outside of grease seals and bearings on cutting reel
to ease reel installation. Also, apply grease to bearing bores and threads in
side plates.
CAUTION
Contact with the reel, bedknife, or other cutting unit parts can result
in personal injury.
Use heavy gloves when installing the cutting reel.
IMPORTANT
During cutting reel installation, keep inner and outer bearing races
aligned. If bearing races are not aligned, binding will occur and reel
installation may cause bearing damage. Use reel bearing installation
tool (Toro part number 117-0975) to help with bearing alignment
during reel installation.
3. Using reel bearing installation tool to keep reel bearing aligned, carefully slide
the cutting reel with bearings and grease seals into the RH side plate; refer to
(page ) . Make sure that bearing is fully seated into side plate.
4. On the LH side plate, loosen the set screw (item 20) and back-off (loosen)
the bearing adjuster nut 1 complete turn.
5. Slide the LH side plate onto the cutting reel assembly, front roller and rear
roller. Make sure that reel end in RH side plate does not shift in position.
