Reel Installation (Fig. 16)

IMPORTANT: Wipe any excess grease from the inner grease seals (13) where the reel shaft V–rings (3) make contact. The V–rings should run dry.

1.Slide the left hand side plate (6) onto the reel shaft. Make sure the reel shaft threads do not damage the grease seals in the side plate.

2.Apply a film of No. 2 general purpose grease to the reel shaft threads and install the left side reel bearing locknut (8).

3.Slide the right hand side plate (10) onto the reel shaft. Make sure the reel shaft threads do not damage the grease seals in the side plate.

4.Apply a film of No. 2 general purpose grease to the reel shaft threads and install the right side reel bearing locknut (8).

5.Mount the frame assembly (17) to the side plates with the four shoulder bolts (7). Torque the shoulder bolts to 17 to 20 ft-lbs. ( 23 to 27 Nm).

6.Secure the grass shield (22) to the side plates with two capscrews (24), washers (23), and lock nuts (25).

7.Torque the reel bearing locknuts (8) to 50 to 60 ft- lbs. (68 to 81 Nm).

8.Install the bedbar assembly (see Bedbar Installation in this chapter).

9.Install the rear roller as follows (Fig. 21):

A.On one of the saddle clamps, remove one of the screws and nuts securing it to the side plate.

B.Install rear roller into saddle clamps and loosely secure it with the screw and nut previously re- moved.

C.Center the roller between side plates. Tighten the saddle clamp screws and nuts to secure the roll- er.

10.Install the front roller (see Front Roller Installation in this chapter).

11.Adjust the cutting unit. See the Cutting Unit Opera- tor’s Manual for adjustment procedures.

Note: The parallel position of the rear roller to the reel is controlled by the precision machined components of the assembled cutting unit. Only a limited amount of ad- justment is possible if necessary due to tapered reel wear. To adjust:

A.Place the assembled cutting unit on a surface plate.

B.Loosen each bedbar adjuster assembly, both cap screws (24), and all four shoulder bolts (7).

C.Adjust the cutting unit and tighten the shoulder bolts (7) to a torque of 17 to 20 ft-lbs. ( 23 to 27 Nm).

D.Tighten the cap screws (24).

E.Tighten each bedbar adjuster assembly until the adjuster spring is fully compressed, then loosen lock nut 1/2 turn.

Note: For severely tapered reels, a .010 in. (.254 mm) shim (Toro Part No. 106-6923) is available for the rear roller mount.
