gap (C) between the rear of the spring bracket and the front of the washer to 1-1/2” (39 mm) (Fig. 43). Note: After greasing groomer bearings, operate groomer for 30 seconds, stop machine and wipe excess grease from groomer shaft and seals. Important It is recommended that the Lynch pin (Fig. 42) be installed on the front center cutting unit to prevent the covers from contacting each other.

Operation Adjusting the Depth/Height 1. Park the machine on a clean and level surface, lower the cutting units completely to the ground, stop the engine, engage the parking brake and remove the key from the ignition switch. Grooming is performed above the soil level. Grooming promotes vertical growth of the grass by cutting runners (stolons), removing thatch, and encouraging denser growth and deeper rooting (Fig. 44). 2.
PAGE 15
Testing the Groomer Performance Also, it is required that Basket Tipper Kits, Part No. 100–9945 (1 ea.) be installed on all Reelmaster 5500 series traction units if not currently equipped with baskets. 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 damage. Use the groomer cautiously. Maintenance Cleaning Danger Hose off the grooming reel after using it.

Location mark Note: Because the groomer may introduce more debris (i.e., dirt and sand) into the cutting unit than what the reel would normally be exposed to, the bedknife and main reel should be checked for wear more frequently. This is especially important in sandy soil.
