6.15 BACKLAPPING PROCEDURE____________________________________________
Before starting the backlap procedure, release the Centre Unit and swing it out. The backlap valve is located
under the seat plate on the right hand side. It can be accessed from under the machine when the Centre Unit
is swung out
1. Apply an even coat of backlapping compound to the entire length of each blade of the reels.
2. While pressing the centre red button (A) on the reel valve pull yellow plunger (B) away from the valve.
3. Start the engine and set the throttle to low idle. Lower heads by operating the Joystick or paddle.

towards the valve. Set the reel speed valve (C) to mow speed.
