9 ADJUSTMENTS
9.8 BEDKNIFE ADJUSTMENT TRUESET™ REEL_______________________________
1. Read Section 9.7 before making the adjustment.
2. Start adjustment at the leading end of the reel, followed by the trailing end. The leading end of the reel
blades is that end which passes over the bedknife first during normal reel rotation.
3. Use adjusters (B and C), to adjust gap. Rotate adjusters (Clockwise) to close gap. Each click of the
adjuster moves the bedknife 0.001” (0.025 mm) closer to the reel.
a. Slide a feeler gauge or shim stock 0.001” - 0.003” (0.025 - 0.075 mm) between the reel blade and the
bedknife. Do not turn the reel.
b. Adjust the trailing end of the reel to the same gap in a similar manner then recheck the adjustment at
the leading end.
c. When the reel is properly adjusted to the bedknife, the reel will spin freely and you should be able to cut
a piece of newspaper, along the full length of the reel, when the paper is held at 90° to the bedknife.
