Groomer Reel Service

Disassembly (Fig. 11)
Inspect groomer reel blades frequently for damage and
wear. Straighten bent blades with a pliers. Either replace
worn blades or reverse worn blades on the groomer
shaft to put the sharpest blade edge forward (Fig. 10).
Blades that are rounded to the midpoint of the blade tip
must be replaced or reversed for best groomer perfor-
mance.
1. Remove groomer reel (see Groomer Reel Removal
in this section).
2. Remove lock nut from either end of the shaft (Fig.
11).
3. Remove spacers and blades as necessary.
Assembly (Fig. 11)
1. Start by placing two spacers against a lock nut
installed on one end of groomer shaft. Then, place first
blade against spacers (Fig. 11).
2. Rotate location mark on each installed blade one flat
of the shaft, either in a clockwise or counterclockwise
direction. The direction of location mark rotation must
remain constant on the shaft.
3. For 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) spacing, make sure there are
two spacers between blades (Fig. 11).
4. When all blades have been installed, place final 2
spacers on shaft and then thread lock nut onto the shaft.
5. Position lock nuts to allow blades and spacers to be
centered on the shaft (Fig. 12). Torque lock nuts from
200 to 250 in–lb (22.6 to 28.3 N–m) so spacers are not
free to rotate.
6. Install groomer reel back on cutting unit (see Groom-
er Reel Installation in this section).
