Backlapping the Cutting Units (continued)
Finishing Backlapping
1. Move the Lower Mow/Raise lever rearward and disengage the PTO.
2. Shut off the engine and remove the key.
3. Move the backlap levers to the F (mow) position.
IMPORTANT
If you do not change backlap lever to the F (mow) position after backlapping, the
cutting units will not function properly.

4. Lower and latch the operator’s seat.
5. Wash all lapping compound off from the cutting units.
6. For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front face of the bedknife after lapping.
Note: This removes any burrs or rough edges that may have built up on the cutting
edge.
