Backlapping
The reels may stall while backlapping and
could restart suddenly. Contact with the
reels during backlapping will cause personal
injury.
• Never place hands or feet in the reel area
while the engine is running.
• Never attempt to turn the reels by
hand or foot or touch the reels while
backlapping.
• Never change engine speed while
backlapping. Only backlap at idle speed.
• Stop the engine and move the desired
reel speed selector knob(s) one position
closer to "13."
Note: When backlapping, the front units all
operate together, and the rear units operate
together.

pressure)
4. Test port G (Steering circuit
pressure)
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower
the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the
parking brake, and move the Enable/Disable
switch to disable position.
2. Unlock and raise the seat to expose controls.
3. Locate the reel speed selector knobs and
backlap knobs (Figure 70). Rotate the desired
backlap knob(s) to the backlap position and
the desired reel speed selector knob(s) to
position 1.

1. Reel speed selector knobs
Note: Backlapping speed may be increased
by moving the reel speed selector knob
toward 13. Each position will increase speed
approximately 100 rpm. After changing
selector, wait 30 seconds for the system to
stabilize at the new speed.
4. Make initial reel to bedknife adjustments
appropriate for backlapping on all cutting units
which are to be backlapped.
5. Start engine and run at idle speed.
Contact with the reels or other moving
parts can result in personal injury.
• Keep finger, hands, and clothing
away from the reels and other moving
parts.
• Never use a short handles brush to
apply lapping compound.
6. Select either front, rear, or both backlap knobs
to determine which reels will be backlapped.
