7.To make an adjustment to the cutting units while backlapping, turn reels OFF by pushing in on the knob on instrument panel and turning the engine OFF. After adjustments have been completed, repeat steps 4±6.

8.When backlap operation is completed, rotate back- lap knob counter±clockwise to the MOW position, set reel speed controls to the desired mowing setting and wash all lapping compound off the cutting units.

Note: Additional instructions and procedures on Backlapping are available in the TORO Sharpening Reel & Rotary Mowers Manual Form No. 80±300SC.

Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front face of the bedknife when the lapping operation is completed. This will remove any burrs or rough edges that may have built up on the cutting edge.
