Before Mowing
Be sure the mower is carefully adjusted and is set
evenly on both sides of the reel. Improper mower
adjustment is magnified many times in the
appearance of the clipped turf. Remove all foreign
objects from the turf before mowing. Make sure
everyone, especially children and pets, is clear of
the work area.
Method Of Mowing
The greens should be mowed in a straight back-and-
forth direction across the green. Avoid circular
mowing or turning the mower on greens areas since
scuffing may occur. Turning the mower should be
done off the green by raising the cutting reel
(pushing the handle down) and turning on the
traction drum. Mowing should be done at a normal
walking pace. Fast speeds saves very little time and
will result in an inferior mowing job.
Control Operation
To operate the controls while mowing:
1.
Start the engine, set the throttle at reduced
speed, push down on the handle to raise the
cutting unit, move the traction lever to
ENGAGED and transport the mower onto the
collar of green.
2.
Move the traction lever to DISENGAGED and
ENGAGE the reel drive lever.
3.
Move the traction lever to the ENGAGED
position, increase the throttle speed until the
mower is traveling at the desired ground speed,
drive the mower out onto the green area, lower
the front of the mower and begin operation.
After Mowing
1.
Drive off the green, move the traction control
lever to DISENGAGE, stop the engine and push
the reel drive lever to DISENGAGED.
2.
Empty the grass catcher of clippings, install
grass catcher and commence transport
operation.
