REEL TO BED-KNIFE

SINGLE POINT ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the Reel to Bed-knife ‘contact’ to give an even cut

across the full length of the Bed-knife, as shown in Fig.20.

Fig.21

As wear takes place on the Reel Blades and the Bed-

Knife, the ‘single point adjuster’ provides a quick, easy,

and accurate method to make adjustments.

When noticeable wear is evident, the central adjusting

handle is turned CW, this pivots the Bed-knife, reducing

the clearance between the Reel Blades and Bed-knife.

Indents in the adjusting handle register with the ‘spring

arm’, allowing incremental adjustment.

Turn the adjusting handle one indent ‘click’ at a time, until

a ‘slight’ reel to bed-knife contact sound is heard.

CAUTION

Do not turn the adjusting handle more than advised,

resulting in hard metal to metal contact of Reel Blades and

Bed-knife that will cause rapid wear and damage.

Do not operate the mower if heavy contact is evident.

Spiral Reel Blades pass over the bed-knife in a scissor

action, the blades just brushing the bed-knife. When

cutting in dry conditions it may be necessary to adjust the

Reel to Bed-knife ‘slightly closer’ to maintain a high

quality cut.
