Leveling Rear Roller
The precision machined components of the cutting unit
frame keep the rear roller and cutting reel in alignment
(parallel). If the side plates are disassembled or as the
cuttingreelwears,alimitedamount ofside plateadjust-
ment is possible to make sure that the cutting unit is
properly aligned.
1. Place the assembled cutting unit on a surface plate.
2. Make sure that bedknife is properly adjusted to cut-
ting reel.
3. Using the surface plate, check ifrearroller is levelto
cutting reel by using a 0.005” (0.13 mm) shim at each
end of rear roller. If the shimwill pass under the roller at
oneendbutnottheother,aframeadjustmentshouldbe
made.
NOTE: Cutting units with 5” diameter reel use two (2)
shoulder bolts to secure endplates to frame. Cutting
units with 7” diameter reel use three (3) shoulder bolts
to secure endplates to frame.
4. Loosen, but do not remove, shoulder bolts that se-
cure the side plate to the frame opposite the side that is
not level (Fig. 13).
5. Adjust the position of the side plate to parallel the
rear roller and cutting reel. Then, tighten the shoulder
bolts to a torque from 27 to 33 ft--lb (37 to 44 N--m).
6. Aftertighteningthesideplate,rechecktherearroller.
If necessary, loosen and adjust second side plate.
7. If rear roller is still not level after adjusting both s ide
plates, check to see if cutting reel is tapered (see Pre-
paringReelforGrindingintheServiceandRepairssec-
tionofthischapter).Ifcuttingreelisnottaperedandrear
rollerisnotlevel,a0.010”shim(partnumber107--4001)
is available to allow additional rear roller adjustment.
The shim would be used on one side of the rear roller
and should be installed between the rear roller bracket
and roller shim (Fig. 14).
