Groomer Kit Orientation All cutting units are shipped with the counter weight mounted to the left end of the cutting unit. Use the following diagram to determine the position of the groomer kits and reel motors. Figure 3 Figure 2 * For Reelmaster 6700 only 1. Counter weight 2. Grease fitting 4. Remove the straight grease fitting from the bearing housing and replace with the 45 degree fitting (Figure 3). Position the fitting so it points to the top of the cutting unit.
Important: The splined insert on the left hand side of the cutting unit has left hand threads. The splined insert, on the right hand side of the cutting unit, has right hand threads. Note: The washers on the height of cut adjusting bolts must be located on each side of the flange on the side plate (Figure 5). 10. Tighten the locknut on the height of cut adjuster bolt until the washers contact the side plate flange, then back-off the nut 1/2 turn (Figure 5). 13.
Important: Make sure the splined end of pivot hub shaft fits into the splined insert. 17. Install the non-drive groomer plate onto the groomer shaft (Figure 9). Be careful not to knock the seal spring off. Important: Make sure the pivot hub mounting surface is flush with the side plate on the cutting unit. The shim must not be pinched between the pivot hub and the side plate. 18. Secure the non-drive pivot hub to the cutting unit side plate with (2) 3/8 x 1 inch socket head screws (Figure 9).
20. Mount the quick-up lever assemblies to the side plates with 3/8 x 3/4 inch flange head bolts (Figure 9). • The outer faces of the drive and driven pulleys 21. Install the groomer belt onto the pulleys (Figure 9). Make sure the ribs on the belt are properly seated in the grooves on each pulley. • • 22. Hook the idler spring in the hole in the idler plate tab and around the groove on the groomer plate lower stud (Figure 11). The open end of the spring hook is to be positioned toward the drive pulley.
Note: After greasing groomer bearings, operate groomer for 30 seconds, stop machine and wipe excess grease from groomer shaft and seals. idler pulley to the roller brush pivot plate. Do not remove the nut. 5. Remove the bolt securing the roller brush drive pulley to the bearing housing shaft (Figure 16). 27. Adjust the height of the groomer. Refer to Adjusting Groomer Height. 6. Remove the roller brush drive pulley and the spacer from the shaft (Figure 16).

Remove the carriage bolts and nuts securing the height of cut brackets to the cutting unit side plates (Figure 19). 16. Using the upper square hole in each side plate, loosely mount the height of cut brackets to the cutting unit side plates with the carriage bolts previously removed and new 3/8 inch flange nuts, positioning as shown in figure Figure 20. 13.
23. On the drive side of the cutting unit, mount the pivot hub, the drive side groomer plate and the shim to the cutting unit side plate with (2) 3/8 x 1 inch socket head screws (Figure 24).

Excess grease will purge between the inboard seals and the seal guards. 3.
Operation Grooming is performed in the turf canopy above the soil level. Grooming promotes vertical growth of grass plants, reduces grain and severs stolons producing a denser turf. Grooming produces a more uniform and tighter playing surface for faster and truer action of the golf ball. Verticutting is a more aggressive cultivation technique designed to remove thatch by cutting through the turf canopy and into the thatch/mat layer. Grooming should not be considered a replacement for verticutting.
• The type of grass • The overall management program (i.e. irrigation, fertilizing, spraying, coring, over seeding, etc.) • The traffic on the fairway • Stress periods (i.e., high temperatures, high humidity, unusually high traffic) These factors can vary from golf course to golf course. It is important, therefore, to inspect the fairways frequently and vary the grooming practice in accordance with the need.

Maintenance 2. Remove idler spring, releasing tension from the belt. Remove the belt. Cleaning 3. Remove the lock nut securing the driven pulley to the end of the groomer shaft. Insert a 5/8” inch wrench on the flats on the groomer shaft to keep the shaft from rotating. Hose off the grooming reel after using it. Do not direct the water stream directly at the groomer bearing seals. Do not permit the grooming reel to stand in water so that the components rust. 4. Remove the pulley from the shaft. 5.
Groomer Binding Troubleshooting 5. If a roller brush is installed, make sure the brush plate (Figure 48) is parallel to the cutting unit side plate and is fully inserted into the rubber grommets. 1. Make sure the groomer is set to the desired height of groom (HOG) (Figure 46). G011430 1 Figure 48 1. Brush plate 6. Make sure the main drive bushing (Figure 49) pivots freely around the drive hub.
