Removing the Drive Spline (All Machines)

Warning

The cutting reel blades are sharp and capable of amputating hands and feet.

  • Keep your hands and feet outside of the reel.

  • Ensure that the reel is restrained before servicing it.

  1. Identify the drive spline to be removed.

    Note: You will remove the drive spline from the roller brush drive assembly side of the cutting unit; refer to Determining the Orientation of the Roller Brushes.

  2. Restrain the reel:

    1. Tip up the cutting unit so that you access the bottom of the reel.

    2. Insert a long-handled pry bar (recommended 3/8 x 12 inches with a screwdriver handle) through the bottom of the cutting reel, closest to the side of the cutting unit that you will be torquing.

    3. Place the pry bar against the weld side of the reel support plate.

      Note: Insert the pry bar between the top of the reel shaft and the backs of the reel blades so that the reel will not move.

      Important: Do not contact the cutting edge of any blades with the pry bar; this may damage the cutting edge and/or cause a high blade.

      Important: The insert on the left side of the cutting unit has left-hand threads. The insert on the right side of the cutting unit has right-hand threads.

  2. Apply thread-locking compound on the internal threads of the reel shaft.

  3. Restrain the reel:

    1. Insert a long-handled pry bar (recommended 3/8 x 12 inches with a screwdriver handle) through the front of the cutting reel, closest to the side of the cutting unit that you will be torquing (Figure 10).

    2. Place the pry bar against the weld side of the reel support plate (Figure 12).

      Note: Insert the pry bar between the top of the reel shaft and the backs of the reel blades so that the reel will not move.

      Important: Do not contact the cutting edge of any blades with the pry bar; this may damage the cutting edge or cause a high blade.
