3.0 Prepare the cutting unit for grinding
Clean all dirt, grass, rust, grease, and
oil from the mower assembly, especially
where it accumulates behind the lip of the
bed knife.
Inspect for a wavy appearance or
condition along the top face of the bed
knife. This would indicate that the bed
knife has been adjusted to the reel with
excessive pressure. This could cause
worn or loose reel bearings.
