Reelmaster 2300–D/2600–DPage 7 – 6Cutting Units
Factor Possible Problem/Correction
5. Reel bearing condition. All reels should rotate freely. Make sure bearings are
properly lubricated. Replace bearings if worn or
damaged.
6. Reel and bedknife sharpness. Reel and/or bedknife that has rounded cutting edges or
“rifling” cannot be corrected by tightening bedknife to
reel contact. Grind reel to remove taper and/or rifling
(grooved or wavy appearance). Grind bedknife to
sharpen and/or remove rifling. (Most common cause of
rifling is bedknife to reel contact that is too tight.)
NOTE: New bedknife must be ground or backlapped
after installing on bedbar.
7. Bedknife to reel adjustment. Check bedknife to reel contact daily. Bedknife must
have light contact all across reel. No contact will cause
cutting edges to become dull. Excessive contact
accelerates wear; quality of cut may be adversely
affected.
Slightly dull cutting edges may be corrected by
backlapping, Excessively dull cutting edges must be
corrected by grinding the reel and bedknife.
8. Front roller position. Make sure front rollers on all cutting units are in the
same position.
9. Rear roller parallel to reel. Rear roller must be set so that it is parallel with the reel
before setting height of cut.
10. Height of cut. Make sure all cutting units are set at the same height
of cut. Set units as specified in the Operator’s Manual.
11. Bedbar stability. Check bedbar end bushings, adjuster pivot bushings
and nylon flanged bushings for wear or damage.
Check adjustment knob to make sure detent holds
adjustment.
12. Number of reel blades. Use cutting unit model with correct number of blades
for clip frequency and optimum quality of cut range
(see Specifications).
13. Cutting unit alignment and ground following. Check lift arms and cutting unit pivot linkages for wear,
damage, binding, or bent pivot pins.
14. Roller condition. All rollers should rotate freely. Make sure bearings are
properly lubricated. Replace bearings if worn
damaged.
