Correction
Adjust the groomer drive belt.
Replace the bearing(s) that
are damaged.
Replace the spring.
If the drive belt slips, it
probably is out of adjustment
or worn.
Repair or replace the drive
belt if necessary. A broken
or worn belt could be the
result of improper belt routing
or seized bearings in the
groomer assembly.
Change the grooming depth.
Replace the missing or
damaged square key.
Tighten the groomer
drive pulley with existing
flange-head screw. Replace
the screw, if threads are
damaged.
Repair or replace the blades,
if necessary.
Replace the groomer reel
shaft.
Adjust the depth if necessary.
Also, check and adjust the
cutting unit set up (level the
bedknife to the reel, level rear
roller to reel, set height-of-cut,
etc.).
