Page 4: Section 1 - Introduction
Initially, you will want to run Lake Groomer continuously, any time the lake front is not in use. After the first three to seven days, once existing weed growth has been removed, it will only need to be cycled 1-5 hours per week. - Page 5 We recommend that you talk with them before installing Lake Groomer to explain how it works and to reassure them that it will not cause any harm to water quality or lake life.

Page 15: Preparing The Rollers
1. With the assistance of another person, bring your supplies, including the drive head assembly, partially-assembled rollers and any needed tools or equipment to the area where you plan to install Lake Groomer. We recommend using a box or other container to hold any parts, hardware or tools needed to ensure they don’t slip through your dock or get lost in sand. - Page 16 4. Attach the rollers to the drive unit using the coupler tubes (Figure 4). • Position the Lake Groomer next to the dock pole where you secured the dock bracket, making sure the 2-inch square tube of the Lake Groomer with the dock connection bracket will be able to attach to the dock bracket when positioned in the water.
- Page 17 1/2” X 3 3/4” BOLT 1/2” CENTERLOCK NUT 5. The Lake Groomer is now ready to be placed in the water! You will have a short time to position the Lake Groomer near the dock bracket while the tube assembles fill with water and sink.
- Page 18 8. Use a 1/2” ratchet or speed wrench to drive the auger tube into the ground. It is recommended the auger tube be at least 12 inches into the ground. 9. The Lake Groomer is now ready to have the power cord attached. We recommend using zip ties to attach the cord to your dock. Approximately three seconds after the unit is plugged in, you should see the lights on the sensors illuminate.

Directional pucks may need to be reset after your area is cleared or after a weather event that causes abnormal wave action. NOTE: After clearing the designated area, the Lake Groomer will only need to run periodically (1-5 hours per week) to maintain a clean lake bottom. -
Page 20: Section 6 - Extra Features
Imagine what happens to a vehicle when it gets stuck in the mud: Lake Groomer’s rollers are like the wheels of a vehicle. If the rollers are spinning but not able to move, they will get stuck in the muck. The deeper the muck or the longer the rollers spin, the harder they will be to dislodge, and the unit may become damaged. -
Page 21: Increasing/Decreasing The Load Percentage
This will cause the rollers to reverse, and therefore won’t cover your entire intended area. The obstruction needs to be removed, the arc of travel needs to be adjusted or the Lake Groomer needs to be repositioned so the obstruction is not in its path. -
Page 22: Section 7 - Maintenance & Storage
Lake Groomer outdoors where it may be subjected to repeated freeze and thaw. • Store any hardware you have removed in a baggie with your Lake Groomer so it is not misplaced. NOTE: To prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, it is important to consult state and local regulations regarding transporting and installing Lake Groomer between bodies of water. -
