Important Read these instructions thoroughly before

setting up or operating the groomer. Failure to follow

setup or operating instructions in this manual may result

in damage to the machine and/or the groomer or the turf.

Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine

from the normal operating position.

1. Separate the cutting unit from the traction unit. Refer

to Operator’s Manual for procedure.

2. Loosen the screws securing each end of the front roller

to the height-of-cut arms (Fig. 1).

3. Remove the carriage bolts, washers and locknuts

securing the height-of-cut arms to the cutting unit side

plates (Fig. 1). Remove the height-of-cut arms and

roller assembly.

Note: Retain all parts for use if groomer is ever removed.

4. Remove the height-of-cut adjusting screws from the

height-of-cut arms (Fig. 1).

5. Remove the front bolt securing the bearing housing to

the sideplate (Fig. 2). Replace with new shorter plow

bolt (Fig. 3).

Note: On cutting units with serial numbers prior to

219999999, enlarge the front sideplate hole to .413”. This

will ease the installation of the new larger plow bolt.

Note: Replace one bolt at a time to retain the position of

the reel bearing housing.

Operation • Stress periods (i.e., high temperatures, high humidity, unusually high traffic) Introduction 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. Grooming is performed above the soil level.

• 4. Repeat procedure on opposite end of groomer, then recheck setting on first side. Readjust as required. Rotate the arms up or down (Fig. 29). 5. If grooming mode is not going to be used, raise the grooming reel into the transport position. Refer to Raising and Lowering groomer, page 7. Note: At higher grooming heights, the grooming reel may have to be set in the raised (transport) position, thus making the raise/lower feature unavailable.

realize, however, that each green may respond differently to grooming. In addition, growing conditions are constantly changing. Inspect the groomed greens frequently and make adjustments to the grooming procedure as often as necessary. Transport Mode Important When transporting the machine, be sure to disengage the cutting unit and raise the grooming reel into its transport (raised) position. Figure 32 Maintenance Lubricate bearings on each end of groomer before extended periods of non use.
