D. When it becomes necessary to adjust the reel to
the bedknife, instruct the operator to disengage the
reel, stop the engine and remove the key from the
ignition switch. Then proceed with the adjustment
only after the reels have stopped rotating.
E. Backlap each reel until the cutting edges are
sha
rp, even, and consistent on all blades. Achieve a
minimum of 1/32 in. (0.79 mm) land area on newly
sharpened reel assemblies. Normally, a reel need
only be backlapped for approximately 3 minutes.
F. Upon completion, stop the reel and turn off the
en
gine. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
Wash the unit thoroughly with a low pressure stream
Hydraulic Motor Installation
NOTE: Adjust reel to bedknife contact before installing
hydraulic motor to prevent possible bearing failure from
to excessive belt tension.
1. Install the drive plate shield onto the reel drive motor
flan
ge (Fig. 12). Be sure the widest portion of the shield
is at the top.
NOTE: Check to see that motor pulley set screws are
tigh
t on motor shaft before installing motor onto cutting
unit (Fig. 13).
2. Insert the reel drive motor pulley through the housing
and slip
the cutting unit drive belt over the pulley

of water to remove all lapping material. Allow the reel
to dr
y and lubricate the grease fittings.
G. Check sharpness of the reel and bedknife with
strips of newspaper. With light reel to bedknife con-
tact, the paper should be cleanly sheared across the
entire width of the reel. If the paper is not sheared
acceptably, continue backlapping.
H. After backlapping the first cutting unit, raise and
latch
this unit and proceed with the #2 and #3 cutting
units.
NOTE: See the Toro Sharpening Manual (Part #80-300)
for
additional backlapping/sharpening information.
