The grooming reel rotates when it is
in the raised position with the clutch
disengaged.
Due to friction in the clutch assem-
bly, the grooming reel may still ro-
tate (with minimal force) in the
raised position with the clutch dis-
engaged.
The clutch is not fully disengaged.
The clutch pulley bearing may be
seized.
The clutch may be damaged or as-
sembled incorrectly.
This condition may change over a
period of time. Disassemble and
clean clutch assembly.
Make sure clutch knob set screws
are tight against the flats on the re-
lease disk, and they do not allow
the knob to slip.

sary.

comes to a firm stop.

sary.
