Adjusting The Top Shield Height; Adjusting The Top Bar; Adjusting The Height Of Cut - Toro Greensmaster 3250-D Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Top Shield Height

1. Loosen the bolts and nuts securing the shield to
each side plate.
2. Adjust the shield to the desired position and
secure the fasteners
3. Repeat the procedure on the remaining cutting
units and adjust the top bar.
The shield can be raised for extreme wet
Note:
conditions.

Adjusting the Top Bar

Adjust the top bar, under the rear shield, to assure
clippings are cleanly discharged from the reel area.
1. Loosen the screws securing the top bar. Insert a
1.5mm feeler gauge between the top of the reel
and the bar and tighten the screws. Assure the bar
and reel are equal distance apart across the
complete reel.
2. Repeat adjusting the settings on the remaining
cutting units.
The bar is adjustable to compensate for
Note:
changes in turf conditions. It should be adjusted
closer to the reel when the turf is extremely wet.
By contrast, adjust the bar further away from the
reel when turf conditions are dry. The bar should
be adjusted whenever you change the top shield
height, the reel wears, or the reel is sharpened by
grinding.

Adjusting the Height of Cut

1. Verify that the front roller is level and the
bedknife-to-reel contact is correct.
2. Turn the cutting unit over (90°) and rest it on the
rear roller and top rear tabs. Loosen the locknuts
on the capscrews that retain the rear roller
brackets (Fig 5).
3. On a gauge bar (Part no. 13-8199), set the head of
the screw to the desired height of cut (Fig 5). This
measurement is from the bar face to the underside
of the screw head.
1. Guage bar
2. Roller bracket bolt
3. Height-of-cut knob
4. Lower the cutting units onto a hard surface, shut
off the engine, and remove the ignition key.
5. Place the bar across the front and rear rollers and
adjust the height-of-cut knob until the underside
of the screw head engages the bedknife cutting
edge.
Important : Repeat the procedure on each end of the
bedknife and tighten locknuts that retain rear roller
brackets on each end.
Note: The cutting units will deliver differing effective
heights of cut, depending on their configuration.
Effective cutting height may be influenced by the
following factors: turf conditions, roller profiles,
cutting unit attitude, cutting unit accessories, weight
of the cutting units and bedknife profile. Therefore,
bench setting a cutting unit does not equal the
effective (actual) height of cut you achieve. You must
determine how to adjust your cutter on the bench to
achieve a comparable height of cut to a cutting unit of
a different configuration, model, or brand
