3 ADJUSTMENTS
3.1 GENERAL________________________________________________________________
1. Adjustments and maintenance should always be
performed by a qualified technician. If proper
adjustment cannot be made, contact an authorized
Textron Turf Care And Specialty Products Dealer.
2. Replace, do not adjust, worn or damaged
components.
3. Long hair, jewelry or loose fitting clothing may get
tangled in moving parts.
4. Do not change governor settings or overspeed the
engine.
3.2 FAN BELT (DIESEL ENGINES)_______________________________________________
Inspect and adjust new belt after first ten hours of
operation. Adjust every 100 hours thereafter.
1. Adjust alternator pulley so belt (B) deflects 9/32 to
11/32 in. (7 to 9 mm) with a 22 lb. (10 kgf) push at
midspan between pulleys.
2. If tension is incorrect, loosen alternator mounting
bolts (A) and adjust alternator until proper belt
tension is achieved. Tighten hardware (A)
Figure 3A
3.3 PUMP DRIVE BELT ________________________________________________________
Adjust pump belt to deflect 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) with a force
of 5-7 lb. (2-3 kgf) applied at midspan.
1. Loosen hardware (D and E).
2. Pivot pump assembly away from engine to increase
tension on belt then tighten hardware (D and E).
Note: A square hole (C) that will fit a 1/2” socket driver or
breaker bar has been provided in the pump mounting
plate as a means of pivoting the pump.
Figure 3B
WARNING
To prevent injury, lower implements to the ground,
disengage all drives, engage parking brake, stop
engine and remove key from ignition switch before
making any adjustments or performing maintenance.
Make sure the tractor is parked on a solid and level
surface. Never work on a tractor that is supported only
by the jack. Always use jack stands.
If only the front or rear of the tractor is raised, place
chocks in front of and behind the wheels that are not
raised.
!
CAUTION
Be careful to prevent entrapment of the hands and
fingers between moving and fixed components of the
machine.

3.4 BEDKNIFE-TO-REEL _______________________________________________________
(Pre-adjustment Check)
1. Check the reel bearings for end play or radial play.
There should be no end play or radial play. See Section
3.7.
2. Inspect the reel blades and bedknife to insure good
sharp edges without bends or nicks.
a. The leading edge of the reel blades (F) must be
sharp, free of burrs and show no signs of rounding
off.
b. The bedknife and bedknife backing must be
securely tightened. The bedknife must be straight
and sharp.
c. A flat surface of at least 1/16 in. (1.5 mm) minimum
must be maintained on the front face of the bed-
knife. Use a standard flat file to dress the bedknife.
3. If wear or damage is beyond the point where the reel
or bedknife can be corrected by the lapping process,
they must be reground.
4. Proper reel-to-bedknife adjustment is critical. A gap of
0.001 to 0.003” (0.025 to 0.076 mm) must be
maintained across the entire length of the reel and
bedknife.
5. The reel must be parallel to the bedknife. An
improperly adjusted reel will lose its sharp edges
prematurely and may result in serious damage to the
reel and bedknife.
6. Grass conditions will also affect the adjustment.
a. Dry, sparse conditions will require a wider gap to
prevent heat buildup and damage to the reel and
bedknife.
b. High quality grass with a good moisture content
requires a closer gap (near zero).
Figure 3C
Figure 3D
3.5 BEDKNIFE ADJUSTMENT___________________________________________________
1. Read Section 3.4 before making the adjustment.
2. Start adjustment at the leading end of the reel,
followed by the trailing end. The leading end of the
reel blades is that end which passes over the
bedknife first during normal reel rotation.
3. Use adjusters (G and H), to adjust gap. Loosen
bottom adjuster (H) and turn top adjuster (G) down
(Clockwise) to close gap.
a. Slide a feeler gauge or shim stock 0.001” - 0.003”
(0.025 - 0.075 mm) between the reel blade and
the bedknife. Do not turn the reel.
b. Adjust the trailing end of the reel to the same
gap in a similar manner then recheck the
adjustment at the leading end.
c. When the reel is properly adjusted to the
bedknife, the reel will spin freely and you should
be able to cut a piece of newspaper, along the
full length of the reel, when the paper is held at
90° to the bedknife.
Figure 3E
Note: Avoid excessive tightening or serious damage may
result to bedknife and reel blades. Reels must turn freely.
CAUTION
To prevent personal injury and damage to the cutting
edges, wear gloves and handle the reel and bedknife
with extreme care.

before adjusting height of cut. (Sections 3.4 and 3.5).
1. Raise mowers to transport position then engage the
parking brake, stop engine and remove key from
ignition switch.
2. Set desired cutting height on the gauge (I).
a. Measure distance between the underside of
screw head and gauge block surface (J).
b. Adjust screw (L) to obtain desired height then
tighten the wing nut.
3. Loosen the nuts on the front roller brackets (K) just
enough to allow the adjuster knob (N) to raise or
lower the front roller.
4. Place gauge (I) across bottom of front and rear
rollers near one end of roller.
5. Slide the head of gauge screw (L) over the bedknife
(M) and adjust the knob (N) to close the gap between
the screwhead and bedknife. Then tighten locknut
(K).
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 on opposite end. Complete
adjustment to one end before adjusting opposite end.
7. Tighten nuts (K) and recheck each end.
Figure 3F
3.7 REEL BEARING ___________________________________________________________
Any end play or radial play indicates bad bearings, a
weak tension spring or a backed off nut.
1. Check bearing housing mounting hardware. Tighten
or replace components as required. Carefully clean
threads with degreaser.
2. Apply a medium strength grade of Loctite to nut (P),
then thread nut onto the reel shaft until the nut is
1-27/32” (46 mm) from the end of the reel shaft.
3. Fill reel bearing housings with NLGI - Grade O
grease after adjusting spring. Figure 3G
3.8 CHOKE CONTROL (GAS ENGINES) __________________________________________

ports. This will keep impurities out of the hydraulic
system and also prevent oil spills.
c. Make sure “O”rings are clean and hose fittings are
properly seated before tightening.
d. Keep the hose from twisting. Twisted hoses can
cause couplers to loosen as the hose flexes during
operation resulting in oil leaks.
e. Kinked or twisted hoses can restrict the oil flow
causing the system to malfunction and the oil to
overheat and also lead to hose failure.
4.12 HYDRAULIC OIL___________________________________________________________
Refer to Section 6.3 for specific maintenance intervals.
Drain and replace the hydraulic oil after a major component
failure, or if you notice the presence of water or foam in the
oil, or a rancid odor (indicating excessive heat).

To change hydraulic oil:
1. Clean the area around the oil cap to prevent impurities
from entering and contaminating the system.
a. Oil temperature should be at 60°to 90°F (16°-
32°C). Do not check oil level when oil is hot.
b. The main oil tank should always be full. A Low oil
level in the main tank will drain oil from the
expansion tank.
c. The oil level in the expansion tank should always
be at or above the “COLD”level mark. Add oil to
the expansion tank, not the main tank.
2. Drain and replace the hydraulic oil every 200 hours or
after a major component failure, or if you notice the
presence of water, foam, or a rancid odor.
3. Remove drain plug from bottom of main tank and
loosen or remove breather cap on top of expansion
tank. Check and clean the breather cap, replace as
necessary.
4. After oil has drained install drain plug and fill with
Textron Turf Care And Specialty Products Hydraulic oil.
5. Purge air from system.
a. Operate all tractor functions for about 5 minutes to
purge air out of the system and stabilize the oil
level.
b. Once the level has stabilized and the air is purged,
fill the expansion tank to the “COLD”level.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury from hot, high pressure oil,
never use your hands to check for oil leaks, use paper
or cardboard.
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin. If fluid is injected into
the skin it must be surgically removed within a few hours
by a doctor familiar with this form of injury or gangrene
may result.
