Cutting Unit Maintenance
Checking the Reel-to-Bedknife Contact
Check the reel-to-bedknife contact even if the quality of cut had been acceptable previously.
Note: There must be light contact across the full length of the reel and bedknife.
Backlapping the Cutting Units

Contact with the cutting units or other moving parts could result in death or serious
injury.
• Keep your fingers, hands, and clothing away from the cutting units and other
moving parts.
• Never attempt to turn the cutting units by hand or foot while the engine is running.
Note: Additional instructions and procedures on backlapping are available in the Toro Reel
