Operating Instructions These factors can vary from golf course to golf course and from green to green. It is important, therefore, to inspect the greens frequently and vary the grooming practice in accordance with the need. Introduction The groomer is set at the factory with 1/2” blade spacing. By removing spacers and adding blades or adding spacers and removing blades the groomer can be changed to 1/4” or 3/4” spacing. Grooming is performed above the soil level.
PAGE 7
Note: The color of the grass will change when the grooming reel is used. This can be observed with the first grooming and will continue over time. Experience will allow the greens superintendent to judge by color of the turf (along with close examination) if the current grooming practice is appropriate for the particular green. Because the grooming reel stands up more grass and removes thatch, the quality of the cut will not be the same as without the groomer.
PAGE 8
Blade Inspection Note: The location marks on each blade are offset so they can be used to achieve proper grooming reel setup. Stack the blades and match the location marks before installing them on the grooming reel shaft. Inspect the grooming reel blades frequently for damage and wear. Bent blades may be straightened with a pliers. Worn blades can be replaced or the grooming reel shaft reversed to put the sharpest edge of the blade forward.
