OPTIONAL FRONT ROLLER • FIGURE 6
FR-20 Front Roller, 20”
The FR-20 front roller replaces the caster bar and casters on your 20” Cal Trimmer mower. There are several advantages. First, this adds a little weight to the front of the mower which is desirable for rougher yards. It also makes the blade cut at the highest contour of the yard and prevents the casters from dipping into flower beds. Finally, you get the stripe in the lawn because it lays the grain of the grass in the same direction that you are mowing. The height adjustment and level of height is the same as the original caster wheels.
OPTIONAL BACKLAPPING KIT • FIGURE 7
Back-lapping Kit Back
Back-lapping does not replace the potential need to grind the reel and bed knife, especially if there are dents or other areas of damaged edges. However, if the edges are in good shape and you want to help lighten and smooth the bed knife to reel contact, this process is the best way. It requires some patience but good instructions are included. The kit also includes a sprocket adapter, a 10 ounce container of #80 back lapping compound, and a durable paint brush. To summarize, back-lapping seats the blade and bedknife surfaces as the blades are turned backwards and applying grinding compound. During the process additional adjusting may be needed, but the end goal is to be able to shear paper across the entire width with smooth and light contact.
