CAUTION
Use the 1- -3/8" flats on the input shaft to prevent
the input shaft from rotating during adapter in-
stallation. DO NOT use the 1/2" hex on the input
shaft to secure the shaft during adapter installa-
tion or input shaft damage may occur.
10.If removed, install the threaded adapter in the input
shaft. If reusing a previously installed threaded adapter,
apply medium strength thread locker to the smaller
(5/8--11) threads only. Tighten threaded adapter from
115- -125 ft- -lb (156- -196 N- -m).

Installation (Fig. 2)
1. Park machine on a clean and level surface, lower
cutting units completely to the ground, stop engine, en-
gage parking brake and remove key from the ignition
switch.
CAUTION
Contact with the reel or other cutting unit parts
can result in personal injury. Use heavy gloves
when handling the cutting reel.
2. Safely prevent reel from rotating by blocking the cut-
ting reel with piece of wood near one of the reel spiders.
IMPORTANT: Groomer gear boxes installed on the
left side of the cutting unit use a left hand thread.
Turn the input shaft (rear roller brush drive shaft)
counterclockwise to install the gear box. Groomer
gear boxes installed on the right side of the cutting
unit use a right hand thread. Turn the input shaft
clockwise to install the gear box.
3. Insert a long--handled pry bar through the front of the
cutting unit. The pry bar should pass between the top of
the reel shaft and the backs of the reel blades so that the
reel will not move.
4. Move the pry bar against the weld side of the reel
support plate closest to the gear box assembly and rest
the handle of the pry bar against the front roller.
5. Position the gear box assembly against the cutting
unit and turn the drive shaft assembly in correct direction
until it is seated against the reel.
