7 ADJUSTMENTS
7.1 GENERAL ________________________________________________________________
1. Adjustments and maintenance should always be per-
formed by a qualified technician. If proper adjustment
cannot be made, contact an authorized Jacobsen
Dealer.
2. Replace, do not adjust, worn or damaged
components.
3. Long hair, jewelry or loose fitting clothing may get
tangled in moving parts.
4. Do not change governor settings or overspeed the
engine.
5. A lifting hook has been provided between the
engine and the clutch mechanism so the mower can
be safely hoisted onto a workbench.
7.2 REEL TO BEDKNIFE _______________________________________________________
(Pre-adjustment Check)
1. Check the reel bearings for end play or radial play. If
there is any abnormal movement of the reel, up and
down or side to side, adjust or replace components
as needed.
2. Inspect the reel blades and bedknife to insure good
sharp edges without bends or nicks.
a. The cutting edges of the reel blades and bed-
knife must be sharp, free of burrs and show no
signs of rounding off.
b. The bedknife and bedknife backing must be
securely tightened. The bedknife must be
straight and sharp.
c. A flat surface of at least 1/32 in. (0.8 mm)
minimum must be maintained on the front face of
the bedknife. Use a standard flat file to dress the
bedknife.
3. If wear or damage is beyond the point where the
reel or bedknife can be corrected by the lapping
process, they must be reground.
4. Proper reel-to-bedknife adjustment is critical. A gap
of 0.001 to 0.003” (0.025 to 0.076 mm) must be
maintained across the entire length of the reel and
bedknife.
5. The reel must be parallel to the bedknife. An
improperly adjusted reel will lose its sharp edges
prematurely and may result in serious damage to
the reel and bedknife.
6. Grass conditions will also affect the adjustment.
a. Dry, sparse conditions will require a wider gap to
prevent heat buildup and damage to the reel and
bedknife.
b. High quality grass with a good moisture content
requires a closer gap (near zero).
