6.1 Mower Preparation
Units of up to 36” long can be ground
in frame, this includes most machines
including Greens mowers and Fairway
units. In order to spin / drive the reel,
one end of the reel shaft drive must be
exposed. This will require the removal
of the hydraulic motor, the chain / belt
or cover depending on which type
of unit is being ground. This should
be done before the mower is on the
grinder (see example Fig. 6.1).
Ensure that the mower is clean and
that both reel and roller bearings are
in good condition. Also ensure that
the bedknife has been sharpened, if
necessary, and replaced with a small
amount of clearance between it and the reel.
6.2. Mounting Mower
The mainshaft/grinding stone should
be wound down to its lowest position
and the unit placed on the table. The
unit should then be carefully moved
towards the multix brackets or front
roller brackets, which can be adjusted
in any direction to allow the unit to
be xed in such a position that the
grinding wheel can be raised towards
the reel without coming into contact
with either the bedknife or the front
roller/groomer.
With the mower correctly positioned
the clamp can be slotted into the rear
of the machine table, moved forward
to rest on the rear of the mower and
locked in position retaining pressure on
the mower until the grinding operation
is completed.
