After the cutting unit is unboxed, use the following
procedures to ensure the cutting units are adjusted
properly.
1. Check each end of the reel for grease. Grease should
be visibly evident in the reel bearings.
2. Ensure that all nuts and bolts are securely fastened.
3. Mount front roller.
4. Adjust bedknife to reel.
5. Set height-of-cut and level rear roller.
6. Verify height-of-cut and level front roller.
7. Verify reel to bedknife clearance.
Important Thoroughly read both Cutting Unit and
Traction Unit Operator Manuals. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the cutting unit and/or poor
performance.
Mounting the Front Roller
(Models 03210 & 03212 only)
1. Remove 2 locknuts securing each angle bracket to
cutting unit (Fig. 1).

5. Hold one roller bracket stationary and use other
bracket as a wrench to loosen or tighten bearing
clearance to allow roller to rotate freely and to
eliminate bearing end play.
Important If end play is excessive, seal failure may
occur resulting in reduced bearing life.
6. Roller brackets must be aligned for installation onto
cutting unit. lf necessary to align after bearing
adjustment, remove roller bracket on side with flanged
nylon bushing, align with opposite roller bracket
within ±one hex flat and replace.
7. Install height-of-cut pins in the 1/4 in. setting. This
will get the roller out of the way for later adjustments
8. Reinstall 2 locknuts securing each angle bracket to
cutting unit.
Adjusting Front Shield
The front shield is shipped from the factory raised at
approximately a 15 degree angle. The shield can be
adjusted for desired grass clippings dispersion.
1. Position cutting unit on a flat level surface.
2. Loosen pivot screw securing shield to side plate. Move
shield to desired angle and tighten screw (Fig. 2).

3. Rotate the reel, by hand, while tightening the bedknife
adjustment knob. Stop when light contact is felt.
4. Insert a long strip of dry newspaper between the reel
and bedknife (Fig. 4) at either end of the bedknife, and
rotate the reel by hand. The paper should be cleanly
cut. Repeat this procedure at other end of the reel. If
the paper does not cut cleanly, tighten the bedknife
adjusting knob a maximum of two clicks and check to
see if paper is cut cleanly. If it is not, proceed to the
next step.
5. Remove counter weights from ends of cutting units.

4. Remove hairpin cotters securing rear height-of-cut
pins and reinstall in the desired setting, as indicated on
height-of-cut plate. Front height-of-cut pins should
remain at 1/4 in. (6mm) setting.
5. Position a straight, parallel sided bar under the reel
blades and against the front face of the bedknife. For
1 in. (25mm) height-of-cut or below, a 3/4 in. (19mm)
thick bar is recommended. For height-of-cuts above 1
in. (25mm), a 1-1/4 in. (32mm) thick bar is
recommended.
Note: The bar thickness does not affect adjustment. The
recommended bars keep the cutting unit more balanced
during adjustment. Make sure the bar covers the full
length of the reel blades and the outermost contact points
between the reel and bar are equal distances from the
center of the reel.
6. Verify if rear roller is level by trying to insert a piece
of paper under each end of roller. The paper should not
fit under the roller.

8
7. Level roller by adjusting appropriate support capscrew
on rear roller supports until roller is parallel and entire
length of roller contacts table.
8. Tighten nuts securing rear roller brackets to angle
brackets. Recheck to ensure that paper will not fit
under each end of roller.
Verifying the Height-of-Cut
Setting and Leveling the Front
Roller
1. On gauge bar, set head of screw to desired
height-of-cut. This measurement is from bar face to
underside of screw head. Gauge Bar (Part No.
98–1852) may be obtained from your local Toro
Distributor.

Figure 9
1. Gaugebar 2. Front roller bracket nut
2. Slightly loosen nut securing each front roller bracket
to angle bracket (Fig. 9).
3. Remove hairpin cotters securing front height-of-cut
pins and reinstall in the desired setting as indicated on
the front height-of-cut plate.
4. Place the bar across the front and rear rollers and
adjust the front roller support screws until the
underside of screw head engages the bedknife cutting
edge (Fig. 9). Do this on both ends of reel. Make sure
the rollers are free of debris and/or distortions on the
roller surfaces.
5. Tighten nuts securing roller brackets.
6. Place cutting unit on a flat surface and verify that front
and rear rollers contact the surface. Alternately push
downward on opposite corners of the cutting unit. The
amount of clearance allowable under any roller end
depends on the turf conditions (sensitivity to lack of
parallelism). Generally, .010 to .020 in. (.25 to .50mm)
will provide acceptable after cut appearance. If
clearance under any roller end is excessive, repeat the
leveling of front and rear rollers.
Verifying Bedknife to Reel
Adjustment
With the reels mounted to the traction unit, verify that the
cutting unit will cut one thickness of newspaper across its
entire width (paper to be perpendicular to bedknife)
(Fig. 10).
Figure 10

Changing
Height-of-Cut
This procedure describes how to change the height-of-cut
after a cutting unit has been set up as described in Setup,
page 4. The height-of-cut can be changed with the cutting
units on or off the traction unit.
Reposition Front Roller
Note: If front roller position does not need to change, as
indicated on height-of-cut plates, proceed to Reposition
Rear Roller, page 9.
1. Loosen nut securing each front roller bracket to front
angle brackets.
2. Remove hairpin cotters securing front height–of–cut
pins and reinstall in the desired setting as indicated on
the height-of-cut plate.
3. Tighten nut securing one front roller bracket to angle
bracket. On this same end of the cutting unit, place the
gauge bar across the front and rear rollers and adjust
the screw on the gauge bar until the underside of the
screw engages the bedknife cutting edge.
4. Move the gauge bar to the other end of the reel and
adjust the roller support screw, on the reel, until the
underside of the screw head, on the gauge bar, engages
the bedknife cutting edge.
5. Tighten nut securing this front roller bracket to angle
bracket.
Reposition Rear Roller
1. On gauge bar, set head of screw to desired
height-of-cut. This measurement is from bar face to
underside of screw head. Gauge Bar (Part No.
98–1852) may be obtained from your local Toro
Distributor.
2. Slightly loosen nut securing each rear roller bracket to
angle brackets.
3. Remove hairpin cotters securing rear height–of–cut
pins and reinstall in the desired setting as indicated on
the height-of-cut plate.
4. Place the bar across the front and rear rollers and
adjust the rear roller support screws until the underside
of screw head engages the bedknife cutting edge. Do
this on both ends of reel.
5. Tighten nuts securing roller brackets.
6. Repeat this procedure on remaining cutting units.

10
Cutting Unit Attitude
Cutting unit attitude refers to the position of the cutting
edge of the bedknife behind the center line of the reel
(bottom–dead–center) (Fig. 11). This can be varied by
changing the position of the front and rear rollers at a
given height-of-cut.
Attitude
Bottom Dead
Center
Figure 11
The farther the cutting edge is behind the reel center line,
the more aggressive the cutting unit will cut. Conversely,
moving the cutting edge forward makes the cutting unit
cut less aggressively.
The previous procedures used nominal cutting unit
attitudes which work well in most turf conditions. The
table below shows the relationship between cutting unit
attitude and turf conditions for improved after cut
appearance. It is important that all cutting units, on a
machine, have the same attitude.
Turf Condition Cutting Unit Attitude

Aggressive Less Aggressive
Cool season grass X
Warm season grass X
Deep leaf canopy X
Shallow leaf canopy X
Higher height-of-cut X
Lower height-of-cut X
Checking/Adjusting the
Cutting Unit Attitude
For setting consistent cutting unit attitude, Toro
strongly recommends using a two-screw gauge bar,
Toro part no. 98-1852 (Fig. 12). The first screw is set
for height-of-cut, and the second screw is set for
cutting unit attitude. The second screw setting is an
easy method of transferring cutting unit attitude to all
cutting units on a machine.

7. For adjusting the cutting unit attitude, adjust the rollers
to achieve desired cutting unit attitude.
Important Make sure rollers are parallel to reel,
repeat leveling procedure, if necessary.
Note: If rollers are parallel to reel before changing
bedknife attitude, you can change one roller at a time and
still maintain parallelism.

12
Operation
Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine
from the normal operating position.
Cutting Unit Characteristics
The single knob bedknife-to-reel adjustment system
incorporated in this cutting unit simplifies the adjustment
procedure needed to deliver optimum mowing
performance. The precise adjustment possible with the
single knob/bedbar design gives the necessary control to
provide a continual self-sharpening action—thus
maintaining sharp cutting edges, assuring good
quality-of-cut, and greatly reducing the need for routine
backlapping.
In addition, the rear roller positioning system permits
optimum bedknife attitude and location for varying
height-of-cuts and turf conditions.
Cutting Unit Daily Adjustments
Prior to mowing each day, or as required, each cutting unit
must be checked to verify proper bedknife–to–reel
contact. This must be performed even though quality of
cut is acceptable.
1. Lower cutting units onto a hard surface, shut off
engine and remove key from ignition.
2. Slowly rotate reel in reverse direction listening for
reel-to-bedknife contact. If no contact is evident, turn
bedknife adjusting knob clockwise, one click at a time,
until light contact is felt and heard.
3. If excessive contact is felt, turn bedknife adjusting
knob counterclockwise, one click at a time until no
contact is evident. Then turn bedknife adjusting knob
one click at a time clockwise, until light contact is felt
and heard.
Important Light contact is preferred at all times. If
light contact is not maintained, bedknife/reel edges will
not sufficiently self-sharpen and dull cutting edges will
result after a period of operation. If excessive contact is
maintained, bedknife/reel wear will be accelerated,
uneven wear can result, and quality of cut may be
adversely affected.
Note: As the reel blades continue to run against the
bedknife a slight burr will appear on the front cutting edge
surface the full length of the bedknife. If a file is
occasionally run across the front edge to remove this burr,
improved cutting can be obtained.
After extended running, a ridge will eventually develop at
both ends of the bedknife. These notches must be rounded
off or filed flush with cutting edge of bedknife to ensure
smooth operation.

13
Lubrication
Each cutting unit has 6 grease fittings (with optional front
roller installed) that must be lubricated regularly with
No. 2 General Purpose Lithium Base Grease.
The grease fitting locations and quantities are: Bedknife
adjuster (2), every 50 hours (Fig. 15); Reel bearings (2)
and front and rear rollers (2 ea.) (Fig. 16).
Note: Lubricate only one reel bearing grease fitting on
each end of cutting unit.
Important Lubricating cutting units immediately after
washing helps purge water out of bearings and increases
bearing life.
1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag.
2. Apply grease until pressure is felt against handle.
Important Do not apply too much pressure or grease
seals will be permanently damaged.
3. Wipe excess grease away.

Backlapping
Danger
While backlapping, reels may stall and then not
restart.
Contact with the reel blades can cause personal
injury or death.
•Never place hands or feet in reel area while
engine is running.
•Do not attempt to restart reels by hand or foot.
•Do not adjust reels while engine is running.
•If reel stalls, stop engine before attempting to
clear reel.
1. Position machine on a clean, level surface, lower the
cutting units, stop the engine, engage parking brake
and remove key from ignition switch.
2. Rotate backlap knob, to backlap position. Rotate reel
speed knob to position 1.
3. Make initial reel to bedknife adjustments appropriate
for backlapping on all cutting units. Start engine and
set engine to low idle speed.
4. Engage reels.
5. Apply lapping compound with long handled brush.
6. To make an adjustment to the cutting units while
backlapping, turn reels and engine OFF. After
adjustments have been completed, repeat steps 4–6.
7. When backlap operation is completed, rotate backlap
knob to MOW position, set reel speed control to
desired mowing setting and wash all lapping
compound off cutting units.
Note: Additional instructions and procedures on
Backlapping are available in the Toro Sharpening Reel &
Rotary Mowers Manual, Form No. 80-300SL.
Note: For a better cutting edge, run a file across the front
face of the bedknife when the lapping operation is
completed. This will remove any burrs or rough edges that
may have built up on the cutting edge.
SPA (Single Point Adjustment)
Spring Adjustment
If single point adjustment assembly (Fig. 17) is
removed for servicing, make sure spring is
compressed, between washers, to a length of .86” (22
mm). This adjustment is attained by tightening nut on
SPA knob shaft.
Note: SPA assembly has left-handed threads.

Parts
Parts scheduled for replacement as required maintenance are
warranted for the period of time up to the scheduled replacement
time for that part.
Parts replaced under this warranty become the property of Toro.
Toro will make the final decision whether to repair any existing part
or assembly or replace it. Toro may use factory remanufactured
parts rather than new parts for some warranty repairs.
General Conditions
Repair by an Authorized Toro Distributor or Dealer is your sole
remedy under this warranty.
Neither The Toro Company nor Toro Warranty Company is
liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages in
connection with the use of the Toro Products covered by this
warranty, including any cost or expense of providing substi-
tute equipment or service during reasonable periods of
malfunction or non-use pending completion of repairs under
this warranty. Except for the Emissions warranty referenced
below, if applicable, there is no other express warranty. All
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for use are
limited to the duration of this express warranty.
Some states do not allow exclusions of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so
the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.
Note regarding engine warranty: The Emissions Control System
on your Product may be covered by a separate warranty meeting
requirements established by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and/or the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
The hour limitations set forth above do not apply to the Emissions
Control System Warranty. Refer to the Engine Emission Control
Warranty Statement printed in your operator’s manual or con-
tained in the engine manufacturer’s documentation for details.
Countries Other than the United States or Canada
Customers who have purchased Toro products exported from the United States or Canada should contact their Toro Distributor (Dealer)

have difficulty obtaining guarantee information, contact the Toro importer. If all other remedies fail, you may contact us at Toro Warranty
