diameter reel cutter (cutting cylinder).
Blade engagement can be adjusted by
changing the reel cutter (cutting cylinder)
position without changing the position and
angle of the bed knife (bottom blade), and
therefore the bed knife attitude does not
change due to wear of the reel cutter.
The front roller is a grooved roller that will
not press down the lawn.
Grass clippings can be discharged either
forward or backward.
The grass catcher can be installed.
The CR brush can be installed onto the rear
roller.
The scraper can be installed on the front and
rear roller.

Handling Precautions
Important
This manual contains descriptions for handling
the mower unit.
For details on handling the main vehicle, refer
to this manual and the Owner's Operating
Manual for the main vehicle.
Inspections
Inspect the machine according to the
maintenance schedule so that you will be able to
take advantage of its optimum performance for a
long period of time.
Reel Cutter (Cutting Cylinder) and Bed
Knife (Bottom Blade)
Inspection of Reel Cutter (Cutting Cylinder) and
Bed Knife (Bottom Blade)
Caution
Wear gloves when touching edged tools to
avoid cutting your hands.
The reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and bed knife
(bottom blade) may become dull due to
frequent use, objects crushed during mowing,
or damage caused during transportation.
Inspect the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and
bed knife (bottom blade), and if necessary,
adjust the blade engagement, perform back
lapping, or resharpen or replace the reel
cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed knife
(bottom blade).
Check to see whether or not the edge of
the reel cutter (cutting cylinder) and the bed
knife (bottom blade) are too blunt to cut.
Make sure that the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade)
are not cracked.
Check to see how much the reel cutter
(cutting cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom
blade) are worn.
Make sure that the reel cutter (cutting
cylinder) and the bed knife (bottom blade)
have not changed color due to heat from
grinding.
Check to see whether or not the second
edge face (relief) remains at the point of
reel cutter (cutting cylinder).

has not come off.
Cover
Inspection of Covers
Warning
If you have removed the covers during
inspection, be sure to securely install them in
their original positions.
If a cover remains removed, the operator may
come into contact with rotating parts or belts

resulting in injuries.
Make sure that there is no wear or
deterioration of the reel cover and all other
covers.
Make sure that there is no damage to the
reel cover and all other covers.
Make sure that there is no interference with
moving parts due to deformation of the reel
cover and all other covers.
Make sure that the reel cover and all other
covers are installed in their appropriate
positions.
Belt
Inspection of Belt
Caution
The engine must be stopped when the belt is
inspected.
Caution
If you have removed the cover during
inspection, make sure that you replace it in
the original position securely.
If the cover remains removed, the operator
may come in contact with the rotating objects
or belt, possibly resulting in injuries.
Press the middle of the belt with your finger
to check the belt tension.
Make sure that there are no cracks,
damage or abnormal wear.

Tightening Torques
Important
Refer to the Tightening Torque table.
Note that the Baroness product warranty may
not apply to defects caused by incorrect or
overtorque tightening, etc.
Standard Tightening Torques
Bolts and Nuts
Important
A number of bolts are used in each part of this machine.
Be sure to re-tighten the bolts and nuts, because they may be loosened at the earlier stage of the
use.
As to the bolts and nuts without any special instruction, tighten them in appropriate tightening torque
with proper tool.
Too much tightening may cause the looseness or damage of the screw.
The strength of tightening is determined by types of screws, strength, the friction of thread face or
base face and others.
The table below is for the galvanized or parkerized bolts.
In case that the strength of internal thread is weak, it is not applied.
Do not use rusty or sand attached "screw."
Otherwise, it may cause insufficient tightening even if you apply the specified tightening torque.
The friction of the screw face becomes higher and the tightening torque is canceled out by the
friction, therefore sufficient tightening cannot be applied.
If "screw" is wet by water or oil, do not tighten it with normal tightening torque.
If the screw is wet, the torque coefficient will get smaller and it may result in too much tightening.
Too much tightening may cause looseness by the screw stretched or result in damage.
Do not use a bolt experienced too much burden.
Using the impact wrench requires the skill.
Do exercise as much as possible for steady tightening.
