conditions are constantly changing. Inspect the groomed greens frequently and make adjustments to the grooming procedure as often as necessary. It is important to determine the performance of the groomer before putting it into regular use on greens. We suggest that a formal test procedure be used.

3 Maintenance 1 Cleaning 4 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. 2 Lubrication If the groomer is used every day, lubricate the 7 grease fittings weekly. Use a hand pump or grease gun (2 or 3 pumps maximum) (Fig. 19). Do not over-grease as excess grease may cause seal failure. Figure 20 1. Grooming blade 2. Sharp edge 3. Dull (rounded) edge 4.

Using the location marks on each blade as a guide, assemble each blade so the location mark is offset one flat on the hexagonal shaft. 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 groomer reel shaft. 4.
