Toro 3100 manual Dual Point Adjust Cutting Units 10 6 Rev. D Greensmaster

Factor	Possible Problem/Correction
Bedknife to reel adjustment	Check bedknife to reel contact daily. The bedknife
	must have light contact across the entire reel. No
	contact will dull the cutting edges. Excessive contact
	accelerates wear of both edges. Quality of cut is
	adversely affected by both conditions (see Bedknife to
	Reel Adjustment in the Cutting Unit Operator’s
	Manual).
	Slightly dull cutting edges may be corrected by
	backlapping (see Backlapping in this chapter of this
	manual).
	Excessively dull cutting edges must be corrected by
	grinding the reel and bedknife (see Preparing Reel for
	Grinding in this chapter of this manual).
Rear roller adjustment	Adjust the rear roller brackets to hi or low position
	depending on the height-of-cut range desired.
	See Rear Roller Adjustment in the Cutting Unit
	Operator’s Manual.
Height–of–cut	“Effective” or actual height–of–cut depends on the
	cutting unit weight and turf conditions. Effective
	height–of–cut will be different from the bench set
	height–of–cut.
	See Height–of–Cut Adjustment in the Cutting Unit
	Operator’s Manual.
Proper bedknife selection for height–of–cut desired	If the bedknife is too thick for effective height–of–cut,
	poor quality of cut will result.
Stability of bedbar	Make sure bedbar pivot bolts are seated securely.
	Check condition of the bushings in the side plates.
	See Bedbar Removal and Installation in this chapter of
	this manual.
Number of reel blades	Use correct number of blades for clip frequency and
	optimum height–of–cut range.
Cutting unit alignment and pull frame ground following	Check pull frames and lift arms for damage, binding, or
	bushing wear. Repair if necessary.
Roller condition	Make sure rollers rotate freely. Repair bearings as
	necessary.
	See Roller Bearing Replacement in the Service and
	Repairs section in this chapter of this manual.
Cutting Unit drop speed and sequence	Rear cutting unit must drop after front cutting units.
	See Rear Lift Cylinder Flow Control Valve in Chapter 4
	– Hydraulic System in this manual.
