Groomer Binding
Troubleshooting
1. Make sure that the groomer is set to the desired height
of groom (HOG); refer to Figure 26.
1. Quick-up lever (engaged
position)
2. Groomer height (HOG)
2. Loosen the quick-up mounting bolt and make sure
that the threaded rod is in line and not binding on the
bottom quick-up ramp (Figure 27). Tighten the bolts.
3. Check the length of the quick-up springs on the
threaded rods, the length should be 3.5 cm (1-3/8
inches); refer to Figure 27.

4. If the height-adjuster knob does not rotate freely, the
bushing may be dirty (Figure 27). Clean the bushing
if necessary.

pivots freely around the drive hub.

6. Make sure that the shim (Figure 29) between the drive
side groomer pivot plate and the cutting-unit side plate
is not pinched by the pivot hub. The shim must be able
to move freely.
