ADJUSTMENTS 8
8.8 BEDKNIFE ADJUSTMENT TRUESET™ REEL ______________________________
1. Read Section 8.7 before making the adjustment.
2. Start adjustment at the leading end of the reel, followed by the trailing end. The leading end of the reel
blades is that end which passes over the bedknife first during normal reel rotation.
3. Use adjusters (B and C) in Figure 9A, to adjust gap. Rotate adjusters (Clockwise) to close gap. Each click
of the adjuster moves the bedknife 0.001” (0.025 mm) closer to the reel.
a. Slide a feeler gauge or shim stock 0.001” - 0.003” (0.025 - 0.075 mm) between the reel blade and the
bedknife. Do not turn the reel.
b. Adjust the trailing end of the reel to the same gap in a similar manner then recheck the adjustment
at the leading end.
c. When the reel is properly adjusted to the bedknife, the reel will spin freely and you should be able to cut a
piece of newspaper, along the full length of the reel, when the paper is held at 90° to the bedknife.
NOTICE
Avoid excessive tightening or serious damage may result to bedknife and reel blades.
Reels must turn freely.
