To test for proper adjustment: 3.
Lean the mower all the way back so that it’s resting a.
on the handle.
Use one hand to slowly rotate the wheel of the
b.
mower, causing the blade reel to slowly turn. If the
wheel is too difficult to turn, slightly loosen each
adjustment screw.
While the blade reel is turning, insert a sheet of
c.
paper between the blade reel and the cutting bar.
See Fig. 5-2. The paper should shear evenly along
the entire length of the cutter bar, as if being cut by
scissors. If the paper doesn’t shear, slightly tighten
each adjustment screw and repeat the test.
