GENERAL
Carefully read the following instructions to make cer-
tain they pertain to your machine.
BEDKNIFE VARIATIONS
The standard bedknife for machines shipped from the
factory is the “low profile.”
Optional “high profile” and “ultraknife” bedknives are
also available.
Bedknife selection depends upon the desired cutting
job to be done. Bedknives are designed for various
heights.
Figure 12C-1. Bedknife Configurations
PREPARATION FOR REPAIR
Thoroughly clean the mower and reel assemblies prior
to disassembly and repair procedures. Coat bare metal
parts with a light coat of oil.
The cutting and grooming attachments are exposed to
water (daily washing), grass clippings, sand, corrosive
fertilizers, and foreign objects such as tees. It may be
necessary to use bearing pullers and/or wooden
chocks and hammers to free up some parts such as
bearings and spacers.
When such force is required to remove parts, those
parts should be replaced rather than reinstalled on the
machine.
DEFLECTOR AND THROW SHIELD
Remove the deflector and throw shield, as shown in
Figure 12C-2, to gain access to the mower unit compo-
nents.

WARNING
Before removing components, turn the mower switch
to OFF, lower the reels, stop the engine, set the
parking brake, and remove the key from the ignition
switch.
