CAUTION
Do not work on the groomer with the engine running.
Always shut off the engine, remove the key from the key switch,
and wait for all machine movement to stop before working on the
groomer.
Note: The Installation Instructions for the groomer has detailed information
regarding assembly and adjustment. Use those Instructions along with this
Service Manual when servicing the groomer.
Adjusting the Height/Depth of the Groomer
Note: Grooming is performed above the soil level. When adjusting the groomer
height/depth, the groomer blades should not penetrate the soil.
1. Park the machine on a clean and level surface, lower the cutting units
completely to the ground, shut off the engine, set the parking brake, and
remove the key from the key switch.
2. Ensure that the rollers are clean and the cutting unit is set to the desired
height-of-cut; refer to the Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual .

Note: Improper or over-aggressive use of the groomer (e.g., too deep or too
frequent grooming) may cause unnecessary stress on the turf leading to
severe turf damage. Use the groomer cautiously.
Note: Use the gauge bar assembly (refer to (page ) ) to determine the
groomer height.
4. On one end of the groomer reel, measure the distance from the lowest tip of
the groomer blade to the working surface. Turn the groomer height adjuster
to raise or lower the groomer blade tip to the desired height (
Figure 373 ).
