BACKLAPPING ____________________________________________________
This mower has the ability to allow the reel to be driven in reverse direction for backlapping See section 6.5.13
•
Backlapping is a process which will lightly hone the reel to the bottom blade while installed on the
mower.
•
If significant amounts of metal are to be removed then the cutting unit must be reground on a special
grinding machine.
•
Before any backlapping is done, Jacobsen recommends that the backlapping procedure must be risk
assessed as a workshop process by the manager of the machine.
•
Backlapping must only be done by approved personnel.
•
Jacobsen recommend that backlap paste is only applied to the reel when it is stationery, the engine is
off and the parking brake applied.
•
When applying backlap paste the reel must only be rotated by appropriately sized piece of wood and
not by hand.
•
Place reels in the most accessible position for applying the paste.
•
After applying the backlap paste the person backlapping must return to the seat, engage the relevant
controls and run the reels in reverse.
•
When the desired finish is achieved switch off the mower, clean off any surplus paste, reset the reel to
bottom blade and return the controls to the normal mow positions.
