If you are not using the grooming mode, raise
the grooming reel from A to B or from B to C.

Testing the Performance of
the Groomer
Important:
Improper or over-aggressive use of
the grooming 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.
It is important to determine the performance of the
groomer before putting it into regular use on greens.
Use the following format test procedure as practical
way to determine the proper height/depth setting:
1.
Set the cutting reel to the height of cut that you
would normally use without a grooming reel.
