Proper use of the Greensmaster 1600 provides the
smoothest turf cutting available. The fundamental
suggestions given will provide the utmost performance
from your mower.
Remove dew and worm casts from turf prior to mowing
by whipping the turf with a bamboo pole or by dragging
a hose over the area. Be sure the mower is carefully
adjusted and is set evenly on both sides of the reel.
Improper mower adjustment is magnified many times
over in the appearance of the clipped turf. A
threeĆtoĆfive foot wide collar" should be mowed
around the area at a slightly higher cut than the putting
green area. This will provide sufficient space for turning
the mower without turning on the green area.
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 proper by raising the cutting reel (pushing the
handle down) and turning on the traction drum. The
greens area should not be mowed in the same
direction at any two successive mowings. Cutting in
different directions at each mowing will keep the grass
growing in an upright position, preventing grain
formation. Mowing should be done at a normal walking
pace. Fast speeds saves very little time and will result in
an inferior mowing job.
