REEL BLADE REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
Note how the blades and spacers are
arranged on the reel and the direction of the
blades before disassembly so that it can be
reassembled in the same manner.
1. On the end of the shaft opposite the pulley,
loosen the set screw in the locking collar A on the
reel shaft. Insert a punch in the small hole on the
collar and use a hammer to tap the collar
clockwise until it's loose (approx. 1/4 turn).
Remove the collar and remove the pillow block
and bearing B.
2. Loosen the socket head screw C in the reel nut D
and remove the reel nut from the shaft.
3. Slide the blades and spacers off of the shaft.
4. Reassemble the reel with new blades.
NOTE: When reassembling the reel, it is important to
start and end with a spacer. DO NOT assemble
with a blade next to the shaft nut.
5. Make sure the socket head screw C in the reel
nut D is just "snug" or about 1 to 2 ft.-lb.
(1.5 - 3 N·m). Screw the nut onto the reel shaft
and torque to 80 + 10 ft.-lb. (108 + 13 N·m).
Make sure enough spacers are used to prevent
the reel nut from contacting the shoulder of the
hexagonal section of the shaft. Tighten the
socket head screw to 10 to 12 ft.-lb. (13-16 N·m).
6. Install the pillow block with bearing B on the
shaft. Slide the pillow block on until the outside
edge of the block is 5/8" (16mm) from the end of
the shaft.
7. The pillow block B must also be perpendicular to
the shaft. To check this, hold a ruler G against
the first blade H and across the edge of the pillow
block. Rotate the pillow block by hand. If the
edge of the pillow block does not appear to
wobble (move back and forth) the pillow block is
perpendicular.
8. Install the locking collar against the bearing by
tapping it counterclockwise approx. 1/4 turn and
tightening the set screw.
9. After the reel has been reinstalled (refer to the
section on Reel Removal And Installation)
readjust the blade height.
10. With the unit on a level surface, lower the reel,
loosen the locking nut and turn the depth
adjusting screw until the blades just touch the
ground.
11. Raise the reel and turn the adjustment screw
counterclockwise 3-1/2 turns to achieve
1/4" (6 mm) blade penetration.
NOTE: This unit is designed for a maximum of
1/4" (6 mm) turf penetration. Some seeds will not
germinate at depths exceeding 1/4", and turf
penetration exceeding 1/4" will shorten belt life.
After 4 hours of use, check reel nut for proper
torque. The torque value for the reel nut is
80 ft.-lbs. + 10 ft.-lbs. (108 + 13 N·m).
