Reelmaster 3100−D Page 7 − 9 Cutting Units
Set Height−of−Cut and Level Both Rollers
Note: Both floating and fixed cutting units can use this
method for making height−of−cut adjustments and lev-
eling both front and back rollers.
1. Position cutting unit on a flat level table or board.
2. Loosen nut slightly that secures each roller bracket
to the angle bracket.
3. For the front roller, adjust support cap screw to
achieve a 1 inch +
1/16 (25.4 mm + 1.6) dimension be-
tween both height−of−cut supports and each front roller
bracket at each end of the cutting unit.
4. For the rear roller, adjust support cap screw to
achieve 5/8 inch +
1/16 (15.9 mm + 1.6) dimension be-
tween both height−of−cut supports and each rear roller
bracket at each end of the cutting unit.
5. For the rear roller, remove hairpin cotters securing
rear height−of−cut pins. Reinstall height−of−cut pins in
the 1/2−inch setting as indicated on the rear height−of−
cut plate.
6. For the front roller, remove hairpin cotters securing
front height−of−cut pins. Reinstall height−of−cut pins in
the 1/4−inch setting as indicated on the front height−of−
cut plate to allow for clearance between the front roller
and table.
7. Position a 1/2−inch or thicker bar under the reel
blades and against the front face of the bedknife. Make
sure the bar covers the full length of reel blades.
8. Verify that the rear roller is level by attempting to in-
sert a piece of paper under each end of the roller. The
paper should not fit between the roller and table.

cap screw on the rear roller supports until the roller is
parallel and the entire length of roller contacts the table.
A piece of paper inserted between the roller and the
table should not fit.
10.When roller is level, adjust both rollers to desired
height−of−cut with height−of−cut pins. Tighten nuts se-
curing roller brackets and replace hairpin cotters to
the height−of−cut pins.
