3.  To test for proper adjustment:
a.  Lean the mower all the way back so that it’s resting 
on the handle.
b.  Use one hand to slowly rotate the wheel of the 
mower, causing the blade reel to slowly turn. If the 
wheel is too difficult to turn, slightly loosen each 
adjustment screw.
c.  While the blade reel is turning, insert a sheet of 
paper between the blade reel and the cutting bar. 
See Fig. 5-2. The paper should shear evenly along 
the entire length of the cutter bar, as if being cut by 
scissors. If the paper doesn’t shear, slightly tighten 
each adjustment screw and repeat the test.
