Cut–off Bar Adjustment
Adjust cut–off bar to assure clippings are cleanly dis-
charged from the reel area.
The cut–off bar is adjustable to compensate for changes
in turf conditions. The bar should be adjusted closer to
the reel when turf is extremely dry. By contrast, adjust
cut–off bar further away from the reel when turf condi-
tions are wet. The bar should be parallel to the reel to as-
sure optimum performance and should be adjusted
whenever the reel is sharpened.
1. Park mower on a level surface. Make sure engine is
OFF. Remove high tension lead from the spark plug.
2. Loosen screws securing the cut–off bar to the cutting
unit (Fig. 20). Adjust cut–off bar to allow a .060 inch (1.5
mm) feeler gauge to be inserted between the top of the
reel and the bar. Use thicker or thinner feeler gauge
based on turf conditions.
3. Tighten screws so that the distance between the cut–
off bar and reel is equal for the complete length of the
reel.
