1. 5/16–18 X 5/8 inch square head set screw 4.
2. Input shaft assembly
3. Groomer gear box assembly
7. Insert a long-handled pry bar (3/8 x 12 inch with screwdriver handle
recommended) through the bottom 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.
To avoid grinding the reel, do not contact the cutting edge of any
blade with the pry bar as this may damage the cutting edge and/or
cause a high blade.
8. Move the pry bar against the weld side of the reel support plate closest to
the groomer gear box.
You must use a 6-point socket with a heavy wall to remove the gear
box from the reel. Do not use an impact wrench. Groomer gear
boxes installed on the right side of the cutting unit use a standard
right hand thread; turn the drive shaft counterclockwise to remove
the gear box.
