Never work on the mower with the engine
running. Always stop the engine and remove the
high tension lead from the spark plug before
working on the mower.
Height/Depth of Groomer Adjustment
NOTE: Grooming is performed above the soil level.
When adjusting groomer height/depth, grooming blades
should never penetrate the soil.
1. Position mower on a flat, level working surface.
Make sure engine is OFF. Remove high tension lead
from the engine spark plug.
2. Make sure rollers are clean and cutting reel is set to
the desired height–of–cut (see Adjustments section of
Chapter 7 – Cutting Unit).
3. Position the grooming reel to the lowered, grooming
position (Fig. 3).
NOTE: Improper or over–aggressive use of the groom-
ing reel (i.e. too deep or too frequent grooming) may
cause unnecessary stress on the turf leading to severe
greens damage. Use the groomer cautiously.
4. On one end of the grooming reel, measure the dis-
tance from the lowest tip of the grooming blade to the
working surface. Lift and turn height adjustment knob to
raise or lower the blade tip (Fig. 3). Each notch on the
adjustment knob changes the groomer height approxi-
mately 0.003 inch (0.08 mm).
5. Repeat step 4 on the opposite end of the groomer.
Then, recheck setting on the first side of groomer.
Height setting on both ends of groomer should be identi-
cal.
6. Attach spark plug wire to engine spark plug.
1. Lift arm
2. Lock screw (grooming)
