Removing the Groomer Drive Box From Cutting Unit.
1. Remove cap, seal shield, or rear roller brush drive housing.
2. Before applying torque to the hex head (Figure 5, Item 2) to remove groomer drive assembly,
install screw, 5/16-18 X 5/8 SQ HD to internal threads of the hex head and torque to 13.5 Nm
(120 lbs.-in). Installing screw increases the strength and lessen the possibility of shearing
(breaking off) the hex head. (Figure 5)
3. Important: With the gear box installed on the right-hand side of a cutting unit, turn the
groomer drive counter-clockwise to remove the drive-box shaft from cutting unit.
4. Important: With the gear box installed on left hand side of a cutting unit, turn groomer
drive clockwise (left-hand thread) to remove drive-box shaft from cutting unit.
5. For proper safety, prevent the reel from rotating by blocking the cutting reel with a piece of
wood near one of the reel spiders. Using a 6-point socket with heavy wall, remove groomer
drive-box shaft.
