Bearing Installation
1. Install new grooming reel bearings and seals into RH

IMPORTANT: Bearings should be installed with ex-
tended inner races toward center of housing. Also,
apply pressure equally to inner and outer bearing
races when installing bearings.
A. Press new outer bearing fully to shoulder of RH
drive plate bore. Then, install new inner bearing until
inner race contacts outer bearing race.
B. Press new bearing into LH support plate until it is
flush with shoulder of bearing bore.
C. Install new seals into groomer side plates. NOTE:
Seals should be installed so the lip side of the seal
will face the center of the cutting reel. When bearings
are greased, grease will purge from inner seals.
