4-4 SHARPENING THE CUTTING BLADES

However, the following steps will allow you to do the
procedure yourself at relatively little expense.
2. Spread a thin layer of lapping compound on the front
edge of the reel blades.
3. Adjust the cutter bar so that the cutter bar blade has
light but firm contact with the reel blades across the
full width of the cutter bar.

Do not overtighten the adjusting screws, as this could
damage the cutter bar. Both screws must be tight on the
final adjustment.

rotate retativety free and the front edge of the cutter
bar blade is polished.
5. Remove wheels; reverse pinions and pawls so that the
beveled edge of the pawl is on the right.
WARNING

bar blade, reel blades, pinions and pawls. Lubricate axle
and pinion with a light film of wheel bearing grease and
replace wheels and "C" clips.
NOTE : It is recommended to use and industrial or valve
lapping compound between 100-240 grit. This is usually
