Adjusting the Groomer
Spring Force (Optional)
Parts needed for this procedure:
–
Washer (Part No. 3256-24, not included)
Procedure
For low height-of-groom setups where additional
spring force is required (only if spring length is
above 3/4 inches), install additional washers (Part
No. 3256-24) to the eye bolt to compress the
height-of-groom springs at a low height of groom.
1.
Set the desired cutting unit height of cut; refer to
your cutting unit Operator's Manual.
2.
Set the desired height of groom; refer to
Adjusting the Groomer Height (page
3.
Ensure that the groomer adjusters are in
the engaged (operating) position; refer to
Transporting the Machine (page
4.
Measure the distance between the washers (the
current spring length) as shown in
1. Top washer
2. Additional washers (Part
17).
3. Original spring length

(distance between top and
bottom washers)
Subtract the desired (.75 inch or 19 mm) spring
length from the current spring length, and divide
this difference by 0.06 inches to determine how
many washers you need to add to achieve the
desired spring length.
Add or remove washers between the top washer
and the top of the eyebolt spring as follows:
A.
Fully unthread and remove the adjuster nut.
B.
Remove the shoulder bolt
C.
Lower the eyebolt, remove the top washer,
and add/remove washers on top of the
spring as desired.
Note:
Both the idler and the groomer box sides
should have the same spring length and amount
of washers.
