ting as indicated on the height-of-cut plate to allow
clearance between the roller and table.
7.
Position a
1
⁄
2
inch or thicker bar under the reel
blades and against the front face of the bedknife.
Make sure the bar covers the full length of the reel
blades.
8.
Verify if the rear roller is level by inserting a piece
of paper under each end of the roller.
9.
Level the roller by adjusting the appropriate support
capscrew on the rear roller supports until the roller
is parallel and entire length of the roller contacts
table.

desired height-of-cut pins. Tighten the nuts secur-
ing the roller brackets.
SET HEIGHT OF CUT AND LEVEL
THE REAR ROLLER
(Fixed Cutting Units)
1.
Position the cutting unit on flat level surface or
board.
2.
Slightly loosen (crack) the nuts securing the roller
brackets to the angle brackets.
3.
Adjust the support capscrews to achieve
5

inch ±
1
⁄
16
inch dimension between the height-of-cut sup-
port and the roller bracket (2 places).
4. Remove the hairpin cotters securing the height-of-cut
pins and install them in the hole at the desired set-
ting indicated on the height-of-cut plate.
5.
Use a gauge block with a height equal to the
desired height of cut and position it against the
front edge of the bedknife at one end. Turn the
support capscrew to adjust the height of the bed-
knife equal to the gauge block.
6.
Repeat the procedure at the other end, then recheck
the original end.
7.
Tighten the nuts securing the roller brackets.
8.
After initial set-up, you may change the height of
cut by repositioning the height-of-cut pins to the
desired setting.
ADJUST THE BEDKNIFE PARAL-
LEL TO THE REEL
(Floating or Fixed Cutting Units}
1.
Make sure the reel contact is removed by turning
the bedknife adjustment knob counterclockwise
(Fig. 40). Tip the cutting unit to gain access to the
reel and the bedknife (Fig. 41).
2.
On either end of the reel, insert a long strip of dry
newspaper between the reel and the bedknife.
While slowly rotating the reel into bedknife, turn
the bedknife adjusting knob clockwise one click at
a time until the paper is pinched lightly, which
results in a slight drag when paper is pulled.
3.
Check for light contact at the other end of the reel
using paper. If light contact is not evident, go to
the next step
4.
Loosen (2) carriage bolts on the bedbar adjuster
(Fig. 42).
