to the threads in the reel and allow the thread locking compound to cure for

gear box assembly and rest the handle of the pry bar against the front roller.

installed on the right side of the cutting unit use a standard right
hand thread; turn the drive shaft clockwise to install the gear box.
5. Tighten the drive shaft assembly from 135 to 150 N∙m (100 to 110 ft-lb).
6. Remove the square head set screw from the end of the drive shaft.

to the front of the groomer gear box.
