Lubrication
Greasing Bearings and
Bushings
Each cutting unit has (7) grease fittings that must be
lubricated regularly with No. 2 general purpose lithi-
um-base grease.
1.
The grease fitting locations and quantities are:
Reel bearings (2) and front and rear rollers (2
ea.) (Fig. 5).
IMPORTANT: Lubricating the cutting units
immediately after washing helps purge water
from the bearings and increases bearing life.
2.
Wipe each grease fitting with a clean cloth
3.
Apply grease until pressure is felt against the
handle.
IMPORTANT: Do not apply too much pres-
Backlapping the Cutting Units
CAUTION
Be careful when lapping the reel because contact
with the reel or other moving parts can result in
personal injury.
1.
Position the machine on a clean, level surface,
lower the cutting units, stop the engine, engage
the parking brake and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
2.
Remove the reel motors from the cutting units
and disconnect and remove the cutting units
from the lift arms.
3.
Connect the backlapping machine to the cutting
unit by inserting a piece of 9mm square stock
into the splined coupling at the right end of the
cutting unit.
Note: Additional instructions and procedures on
backlapping are available in the TORO Sharpening
Reel & Rotary Mowers Manual Form No. 80-300PT.
sure or grease seals will be permanently dam-
aged.
4.
Wipe away excess grease.
Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across the
front face of the bedknife after completing the lap-
ping operation. This will remove any burrs or rough
edges that may have built up on the cutting edge.
