Troubleshooting
Factors Affecting Grooming
There are a number of factors that can affect the perfor-
mance of grooming. These factors vary for different golf
courses and from fairway to fairway. It is important to in-
spect the turf frequently and vary the grooming practice
with turf needs.
IMPORTANT: Improper or overaggressive use of
the groomer (e.g. too deep or too frequent groom-
ing) may cause unnecessary stress on the turf lead-
ing to severe turf damage. Use the groomer
carefully. READ AND UNDERSTAND THE OPERA-
TION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING OR
TESTING GROOMER PERFORMANCE.
It is important to remember that factors affecting quality
of cut also affect grooming performance.
