Grooming Reel Service - Toro Greensmaster 3150 Service Manual

Grooming Reel Service

Inspect grooming reel blades frequently for damage and
wear. Straighten bent blades with a pliers. Replace
blades that are worn or damaged.
Grooming blades (Fig. 8) should be replaced if worn or
damaged. Blades that are rounded to the midpoint of the
blade tip can be reversed on the grooming shaft to ex-
tend the life of the blade.
Disassembly (Fig. 7)
1. Remove grooming reel from cutting unit (see Groom-
ing Reel Removal in this section).
2. Remove lock nut from either end of the shaft (Fig. 7).
3. Remove spacers and blades from groomer shaft as
necessary.
Assembly (Fig. 7)
1. Start by placing thick spacer against the lock nut
installed on one end of groomer shaft. Then, place first
blade against installed spacer (Fig. 7).
2. For 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) blade spacing, make sure there
are two (2) blade spacers between blades (Fig. 7).
3. When all blades have been installed, place second
thick spacer on shaft and then thread second lock nut
onto the shaft.
4. Position lock nuts to allow blades and spacers to be
centered on the shaft (Fig. 9). Torque lock nuts from 200
to 250 in- -lb (23 to 28 N- -m) so spacers are not free to
rotate.
5. Install grooming reel back onto cutting unit (see
Grooming Reel Installation in this section).
