Operation • The type of grass • The overall management program (i.e., irrigation, fertilizing, spraying, coring, overseeding, etc.) Introduction • Traffic Grooming is performed in the turf canopy above the soil level. Grooming promotes vertical growth of grass plants, reduces grain, and severs stolons, producing a denser turf. Grooming produces a more uniform and tighter playing surface for faster and truer action of the golf ball. • Stress periods (i.e.

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 inches with a screwdriver handle) through the front of the cutting reel, closest to the side of the cutting unit that you are torquing (Figure 33). 2. Place the pry bar against the weld side of the internal cutting reel reinforcement (Figure 33). Note: The pry bar should contact a blade at the front, the reel shaft, and a blade at the back of the back of the reel, locking it in place.
