Inspect the groomer reel blades frequently for damage and wear. Straighten
the bent blades with a pliers. Either replace the worn blades or reverse the
blades to put the sharpest blade edge forward (
Figure 385 ). The blades that are
rounded to the midpoint of the blade tip must be reversed or replaced for best
groomer performance.
Disassembling the Groomer Reel
1. Remove the groomer reel from the cutting unit; refer to the Groomer Reel
(page 10–15) .
2. Remove the O-ring on the non-drive end of the groomer shaft.
3. Remove the 2 excluder seals from the groomer reel.
4. If the groomer reel is equipped with the broomer kit, remove the straps and
broomer brushes from the reel ( Figure 386 ).
5. Remove the locknut from either end of the shaft.
6. Remove the spacers and blades from the groomer shaft. If necessary,
remove the second locknut from the shaft.
Assembling the Groomer Reel
1. Ensure that the first locknut is installed on the groomer shaft. Place the
spacer and then the first blade on the shaft.
2. Alternately install the spacers and blades and ensure that all the blades
are separated by a spacer.
