Aquatic Vegetation Groomer | Cattail Cutter

Q: Can the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer cut all weeds or just some?
A: The Aquatic Vegetation Groomer is designed to cut through all different weed types...even weeds with a thicker stem or root system (i.e. arrowhead, phragmites, cattails, lily pads, bullrush, wood stemmed plants and brush etc.)

Q: Can the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer be used out of the water too?
A: Yes! The Aquatic Vegetation Groomer will become your favorite multi-purpose tool for aquatic and land vegetation. Clean out your swim area, trim and edge along your beachfront, cut-down the brush that might be protruding over your shoreline. This tool does it all!

Q: How easy is it to mount the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer cutter to the Float Mount?
A: The float mount is designed to make this quick and easy by simply sliding the handle onto the pivot arm slots and securing with 2 wingnuts and U-bolts. The only thing you may have to do is adjust the location of the D-handle grip on the shaft (the included instructions show the correct location).

Q: How to I operate the motor when the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer is on the float mount?
A: This is done by using included velcro strap. Start by pushing the throttle trigger to the desired speed and then strap on the velcro to hold it in place. (In most cases you will only need to set the throttle to about 30-50% power as this should be enough to cut through cattails and similar aquatic vegetation)

Q: How long is each handle section for the float mount?
A: Each handle section / extension is 4ft long. They all connect using 8” connectors that insert and stap into place using push pins. Although we offer 7ft - 11ft & 15ft handle options you can also order extra extensions by phone. 877-224-4899

Q: Is the cutting head compatible with my existing “weed wacker”?
A: No, the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer has a sealed gear box and the reciprocating cutting head is proprietary to the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer only.

Q: How is the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer able to cut vegetation under water, doesn’t the blade just push the vegetation away like a propeller?
A: No, the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer consists of a top and bottom circular blade that “reciprocates” vs going in a circle like a propeller.

Q: Why do I need a shoulder strap?
A: You don’t. However, the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer weighs 25 lbs and if you have a big area to maintain, the shoulder strap will leverage the weight against your shoulders vs forearms.

Q: How heavy is the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer?
A: The Aquatic Vegetation Groomer weighs 25 lbs, and balances nicely on a soft (adjustable) rubber handle.

Q: Any tips for maintenance on my Aquatic Vegetation Groomer?
A: Make sure to keep the gearhead (near the blades) stays lubricated, dry off the unit prior to storage, and check oil levels each use.

Q: Can replacement blades be purchased for the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer?
A: Yes! Replacement blades can be purchased as a set (2 blades) through Our online store or by calling 877-224-4899.

Q: What kind of fuel does the Aquatic Vegetation Groomer take?
A: Oil mixed gas at a 50:1 ratio.

Q: What should you do when you store the unit in the winter?
A: Aged fuel is one of major causes of engine starting failure. Before storing the unit, empty the fuel tank and run the engine until it uses all the fuel left in the fuel line and the carburetor. Store the unit indoor taking necessary measures for rust prevention including oiling the blades.

Q: Is it bad to hold throttle down all the time?
A: Avoid running the engine at full throttle with no load. Continuous no load full throttle operation can cause damage to the engine and the driveshaft.
