Top Bar Adjustment
Adjust top bar to make sure clippings are cleanly dis-
charged from reel area:
1. Loosen screws securing top bar (Fig. 15). Insert
0.060 inch feeler gauge between top of reel and bar and
tighten screws. Make sure bar and reel are equal dis-
tance apart across complete reel.
2. Do adjustment on remai
ning cutting units.
NOTE: Bar should be parallel to reel for optimum per-
form
ance and should be adjusted whenever shield
height is adjusted or whenever reel is sharpened on a
reel grinder.
Lock-up Roller Adjustment
Adjust lock-up rollers so they contact the lock-up lever
on each rear lift arm and support the cutting units when
fully raised (Fig. 15a). The cutting units should have
approximately 3/8 to 5/8 in. vertical travel when meas-
ured at the rear roller.
