Adjustments
CAUTION
Never work on the groomer with the engine
running. Always stop the engine, remove the
key from the ignition switch and wait for all
machine movement to stop before working on
the groomer.

Groomer Height/Depth Adjustment

NOTE: Grooming is performed above the soil level.
When adjusting groomer height/depth, groomer blades
should never penetrate the soil.
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.
2. Make sure rollers are clean and cutting unit is set to
the desired height--of--cut (see Cutting Unit Operator's
Manual).
3. Place the groomer reel in the grooming (lowered)
position by rotating the raise/lower lever toward the front
of the cutting unit (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Improper or over--aggressive use of the groom-
er (e.g. too deep or too frequent grooming) may cause
unnecessary stress on the turf leading to severe turf
damage. Use the groomer cautiously.
4. On one end of the groomer reel, measure the dis-
tance from the lowest tip of the groomer blade to the
working surface. Turn groomer height adjuster to raise
or lower the groomer blade tip to the desired height (Fig.
1).
5. Repeat step 4 on the opposite end of the groomer.
Then, recheck setting on the first side of groomer.
Height setting on both ends of groomer should be identi-
cal.
