3. Hook screw head on cutting edge of bedknife and
rest rear end of bar on rear roller (Figure 10).
4. Rotate adjusting screw until roller contacts front of
gauge bar. Adjust both ends of roller until entire
roller is parallel to the bedknife.
Important: When set properly, the rear and
front rollers will contact the gauge bar and the
screw will be snug against the bedknife. This
ensures that the height-of-cut is identical at
both ends of the bedknife.

2. Insert .060 inch (1.5 mm) feeler gauge between top
of reel and bar and tighten screws. Ensure bar and
reel are equal distance apart across complete reel.
Note: The bar is adjustable to compensate for
changes in turf conditions. The bar should be
adjusted closer to reel when turf is extremely dry.
By contrast, adjust bar further away from reel when
turf conditions are wet. The bar should be parallel
to reel to ensure optimum performance and should
be adjusted whenever reel is sharpened on a reel
grinder.
