Important: Ensure that there is no dirt or clippings on the outside of the groomer housing; if debris gets inside of the groomer it can damage the gearbox.
Restraining the Reel Cleaning the Grooming Reel WARNING Service Interval: After each use The cutting reel blades are sharp and capable of amputating hands and feet. Clean off the grooming reel after using it by spraying it with water. 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. • Keep your hands and feet outside of the reel. • Ensure that the reel is restrained before servicing it.
Restraining the Reel for Installing Threaded Inserts 1. Insert a long-handled pry bar (recommended 3/8" x 12" with screwdriver handle) through the front of the cutting reel, closest to the side of the cutting unit that you will be torquing (Figure 33). 2. Place the pry bar against the weld side of the reel support plate (Figure 33). Note: Insert the pry bar between the top of the reel shaft and the backs of the reel blades so that the reel will not move.
