8 ADJUSTMENTS
8.14 HEIGHT OF CUT CLASSIC XP™ REELS _________________________________
Any adjustment to the clearance between the reel blades
and the bedknife should be done at the leading end of the
reel first (the end at which each individual blade first
crosses the bedknife). Then at the opposite end of the
reel.
1. Loosen the lower adjustment screws at each end
by turning them approximately 1/4 turn
counterclock- wise.
2. While rotating the reel backwards, turn the upper
adjustment screws (leading end first) until there is
approximately .001, (.025mm) clearance. After
adjusting both ends, recheck the leading end.
.
3. Using a wrench rotate the reel forward. The reel
must turn freely and you should just be able to hear
the reel blades making slight contact with the
bedknife.
4. After the bedknife is properly adjusted, tighten the lower adjustment screw at each end.
5. Test the cutting head by holding two strips of newsprint perpendicular to the bedknife. Rotate the reel with
a wrench. The reel must turn freely and each blade on the reel should cut one of the two strips of paper.
NOTICE
Too much clearance between the bedknife and the
blades will result in poor cutting quality.
Too little clearance will cause excessive wear to the
cutting edges and may cause damage to the
bedknife, reel blades or other components.
