6.5 Linking Up The Reel Drive Unit to the Reel
Machines are supplied with a compact reel drive motor/gearbox that is supported by a
bracket that mounts to the machine table. The support can be mounted on either end of
the table according to where the drive needs to be connected to the mower.
6.5.1 Select the attachment with which to
drive the reel. If the reel sprocket,
gear or pulley is secured with a nut
it may be easier to use a standard
socket together with a inch square
end driver. Ensure the nut is tight, as
the direction of rotation may tend to
unscrew it. Ensure that the drive shaft
is through the exible coupling/driver
before setting the machine on the table
and that the whole unit is at the correct
end of the table.
Alternatively it may be easier to drive directly onto the sprocket using one of the pin or
adjustable type sprocket drivers tted to the plain drive rod.
6.5.2. When the cutting unit is in place and rmly xed to the
front roller brackets, and the rear clamped. Position the
drive support unit left or right, using appropriate mounting
holes, so that the drive rod will reach the end of the reel
shaft. Tighten unit in place.
Adjust the height and position, forwards and backwards
and up and down, of the cable drive drive support so that
the shaft is square with the driven end of the reel, and
tighten clamps to hold it in place.
The black lobed hand screw allows the drive head to be
moved along the square support shaft to adjust the height
of the drive, while the hex socket “allen” screw allows
the support shaft to be clamped at any desired angle to
engage in the drive mechanism on the reel.
Plug the power lead into the socket (on the centre rear
of the machine – OR on the side of the unit that the reel
drive is positioned.)
Route the cable under the hooks provided to keep it clear
of the cutting unit
