PREPARE MOWING UNIT FOR SHARPENING
Always follow the procedures specified in the cutting
unit manual when preparing the unit for sharpening. It
is recommended that the reel to be sharpened is
thoroughly cleaned. Remove the wheels and bed bar, if
possible, from the reel. The bedknives should be
sharpened when the reel is sharpened. Inspect,
adjust and/or replace any worn or damaged bearings.
Make sure the reel bearings are in good working condi-
tion and adjusted properly so the reel turns easily by
hand.
Because this grinder mounts the reel using the reel rear
roller and front roller if applicable, the bearings in the
rollers must be in good repair with no free play. The
front and rear rollers must be properly aligned
parallel to the reel prior to grinding.
LIFTING REEL INTO POSITION
The RG5500 grinder does not come standard with a lift
device. If the facility does not have a lift, it is recommended
that the winch and boom kit or Rear Lift Platform is used.
.
WINCH & BOOM KIT
The Winch & Boom kit mounts to the back right side of
the cabinet. When using the Winch & Boom, position
the cutting unit behind the machine and secure the
spreader bar to the cutting unit. Use the winch to lift the
unit and swing the reel into the working area of the
machine. (Refer to manual in kit for further instructions.)
See FIG. 9 - Available with a Manual or Electric winch.
REAR LIFT PLATFORM
The Rear Lift Table is a portable platform that can be used
to raise the reel up level to the grinder. The reel can be
rolled onto the platform with the front of the reel facing the
front of the grinder. With rear roller clamp removed the
reel can be rolled from the platform into the machine from
the rear. The Workstation uses a 12V rechargeable
system to power the platform and can be moved around
the facility on the 4 caster wheels .
See FIG. 10
