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. Operation Introduction The groomer is set at the factory with 1/2 in. 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 in. spacing. Grooming is performed above the soil level.

Adjusting Bolt Testing Groomer Performance The adjusting bolt (Fig. 16) is used to adjust the grooming reel depth/height. Groomer Quick Adjust Lever 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 greens damage. Use the groomer cautiously. The groomer quick adjust lever (Fig. 16) is used in conjunction with the adjusting bolt to attain higher settings.
PAGE 9
Rollers Note: On multiple passes (i.e., double and triple cutting), the groomer will continue to penetrate deeper on each successive pass. Multiple passes are not recommended. If the grooming reels are set to a negative depth relative to the rollers, the groomer will penetrate deeper than the cutting unit. Because of this, the groomer will cut into the base of the grass blade which is stickier. Grass will tend to build up on the rear roller faster than without the groomer.

Maintenance 3 1 Cleaning 4 Hose off the grooming reel after use. 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 Lubricating If the groomer is used every day, lubricate the 5 grease fittings weekly. Use a hand pump or grease gun (2 or 3 pumps maximum) (Fig. 18). Do not over grease as excess grease may cause seal failure. Figure 19 1. Grooming blade 2. Sharp edge 3. Dull (rounded) edge 4.
