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 center cutting head raises and lowers
slightly later than the front ones, allowing
the center cut to begin and end at the
same point as the two side cuts.
Practicing 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. 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.
