REEL MOWER OPERATOR'S MANUAL
4. REEL BLADE / BED KNIFE
Reel blades and bed knife edges are sharp. Wear
gloves when making any adjustments. Never stand in
front of the unit or attempt any adjustments while the
engine is running. Remove the reel drive chain
before making any
adjustments.
If you are unable to
properly adjust these,
consult your dealer
before proceeding.
CAUTION – DO NOT TIP MOWER BACK MORE THAN
20 DEGREES TO PREVENT OIL FROM ENTERING THE
ENGINE CYLINDER AND CAUSING A FLUID LOCK.
Reel mowers, unlike rotary mowers, use a scissor action
to cut grass. The grass is cut as it passes between the
edges of the reel blade and the bed knife located on the
bottom of the mower frame.
This function of the mower is pre-set at the factory, but
based on the type of grass and other use factors, further
adjustment may be necessary. As the blade reel and bed
knife wear, additional adjustment will be required. The
clearance between the reel and the bed knife is
controlled by two adjusters on the topside of the mower.
The adjusters raise and lower each side of the bed knife
in relation to the reel, increasing or decreasing the
clearance (from the blade) and should be moved as
evenly as possible.

Turning the adjuster clockwise reduces the clearance
between the bed knife and reel blade, while turning it
counter-clockwise increases the clearance. When
properly adjusted, there should be slight contact between
the reel blade and bed knife across the full width.
With the unit tipped back slightly (less than 20 degrees)
and secured in place, the blade /bed knife contact can be
checked by manually rotating the blade forward and use
a narrow strip of paper to check the cutting action.
NOTE: Excessive contact will cause overheating,
loud screeching and possible damage to the parts.
Insufficient contact will not allow for the grass to be cut.
Any excessive noise means that the adjustment is too
tight. It's not recommended that the reel be engaged for
extended periods of time when not cutting grass as the
moisture provides a level of lubrication to the cutting
surfaces while in use.
