Reel Installation (Fig. 16)
IMPORTANT: Wipe any excess grease from the inner
grease seals (13) where the reel shaft V–rings (3) make
contact. The V–rings should run dry.
1. Slide the left hand side plate (6) onto the reel shaft.
Make sure the reel shaft threads do not damage the
grease seals in the side plate.
2. Apply a film of No. 2 general purpose grease to the
reel shaft threads and install the left side reel bearing
locknut (8).
3. Slide the right hand side plate (10) onto the reel
shaft. Make sure the reel shaft threads do not damage
the grease seals in the side plate.
4. Apply a film of No. 2 general purpose grease to the
reel shaft threads and install the right side reel bearing
locknut (8).
5. Mount the frame assembly (17) to the side plates
with the four shoulder bolts (7). Torque the shoulder
bolts to 17 to 20 ft-lbs. ( 23 to 27 Nm).
6. Secure the grass shield (22) to the side plates with
two capscrews (24), washers (23), and lock nuts (25).
7. Torque the reel bearing locknuts (8) to 50 to 60 ft-
lbs. (68 to 81 Nm).
8. Install the bedbar assembly (see Bedbar Installation
in this chapter).
9. Install the rear roller as follows (Fig. 21):
A. On one of the saddle clamps, remove one of the
screws and nuts securing it to the side plate.
B. Install rear roller into saddle clamps and loosely
secure it with the screw and nut previously re-
moved.
C. Center the roller between side plates. Tighten
the saddle clamp screws and nuts to secure the roll-
er.

10. Install the front roller (see Front Roller Installation in
this chapter).
11. Adjust the cutting unit. See the Cutting Unit Opera-
tor’s Manual for adjustment procedures.
Note: The parallel position of the rear roller to the reel
is controlled by the precision machined components of
the assembled cutting unit. Only a limited amount of ad-
justment is possible if necessary due to tapered reel
wear. To adjust:
A. Place the assembled cutting unit on a surface
plate.
B. Loosen each bedbar adjuster assembly, both
cap screws (24), and all four shoulder bolts (7).
C. Adjust the cutting unit and tighten the shoulder
bolts (7) to a torque of 17 to 20 ft-lbs. ( 23 to 27 Nm).
D. Tighten the cap screws (24).
E. Tighten each bedbar adjuster assembly until the
adjuster spring is fully compressed, then loosen
lock nut 1/2 turn.
Note: For severely tapered reels, a .010 in. (.254 mm)
shim (Toro Part No. 106-6923) is available for the rear
roller mount.
