OPERATION
9.
Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Read Section 3.7. Use caution when operating near drop off
points.
10.
Never use your hands to clean cutting units. Use a brush to remove grass clippings from blades. Blades
are extremely sharp and can cause serious injuries
11.
Always operate the machine with grass catchers attached to prevent discharge from the centre unit
hitting the operator.
OPERATION OF THE MACHINE
Read the Safety Instructions.

MOWING PROCEDURES
NOTE: Always remove the flag and inspect the
green before mowing. Remove debris or
other objects that may damage the reels and/
or bedknives. ""Operators should practice
mowing in a clear area to become familiar
with raising and lowering the mowing heads.
They should be aware that the centre cutting
head raises and lowers slightly later than the
front ones, allowing the centre cut to begin
and end at the same point as the two side
cuts. Practising will help the operator become
proficient at starting and stopping each pass
within a foot or two of the edge of the green.
Then only one final pass around the green
will be required to finish the operation.
Several factors may determine the direction of the
mowing pattern, sand traps or other hazards near
the green, trees etc. that can restrict where turns
are made. The terrain of the green may also be a
factor, but if conditions allow, always try to mow the
green in a different direction than the last time it was
mowed.
1.
Stop the unit just before reaching the green.
Make sure the reel enable switch is in the
"ON" position and the mow / transport lever is
in position 1 (mow). Proceed onto the green
at mowing speed and lower the mowing
heads as the front grass catchers cross the
leading edge of the green. At the end of the
pass, raise the heads as the front grass

catchers cross the trailing edge of the green.
2.
Always make mowing passes across the
green in a straight line. DO NOT start to make
the turn for the next pass until the rear wheel
is completely off the green, this will eliminate
the possibility of the tires tearing the turf
during the turn.
3.
Each successive pass should overlap the
previous one by two or three inches (51 or
76mm) (a painted mark two or three inches
(51 or 76mm) in from the outer edges of the
two front grass catchers will help align each
overlapping pass).
4.
After all of the straight passes have been
made, make one final pass around the outer
edge of the green. This final pass should
always be in the opposite direction from the
last time the green was mowed.
5.
With the engine stopped or the reel enable
switch in the "OFF" position, empty the grass
catchers before proceeding to the next
green.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the green, NEVER stop
the forward motion of the mower on the green
with the reels turning.
Stopping the mower on a wet green may
cause wheel indentations.
