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.
Also, before installing, removing or working on
the cutting units, disconnect the cutting units
from the electrical power supply by separating
the cutting unit power disconnect connector
(see 48 VDC Battery Disconnect in the General
Information section of this chapter).

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. To prevent unexpected reel motor operation, discon-
nect motors from the electrical power supply by unplug-
ging the 48 VDC battery disconnect (see 48 VDC
Battery Disconnect in the General Information section of
this chapter).
3. Make sure rollers are clean and cutting unit is set to
the desired height- of- cut (see Cutting Unit Operator's
Manual).
4. Place the groomer reel in the grooming (lowered)
position by rotating the quick- up levers toward the front
of the cutting unit (Fig. 5).
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.
NOTE: Use the gauge bar assembly (see Special Tools
in this chapter) to determine groomer height.
5. Measure the distance 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. 5).
