Bearing Adjustment
To insure long life of the reel bearings, periodically check
if reel end play exists. The reel bearings can be checked
and adjusted as follows:
Note: Bearing and bearing housing were preset at
factory as indicated with a paint mark.
1. Loosen reel to bedknife contact by turning the bed-
knife adjusting knob (Fig. 32) counter−clockwise until no
contact exists.
2. Hold on to the reel shaft and try to move the reel as-
sembly side to side (Fig. 33).
3. If end play exists, proceeded as follows:
A. Loosen set screw securing bearing adjusting nut
to bearing housing located on the left side of the cut-
ting unit (Fig. 34).
B. Using a spanner wrench, slowly tighten the reel
bearing adjustment nut until no end play of the reel
exists. If adjusting nut does not eliminate reel end
play, replace reel bearings.
Note: Reel bearings do not require pre−load. Over
tightening reel bearing adjuster nut will damage reel
bearings.
4. Retighten set screw securing bearing adjusting nut
to bearing housing.
