Importance of the Operator

The Operator has a significant influence on the quality of cut that a reel mower can deliver.
Fundamentals of Reel Mowers
The large investment in specialized mowing
equipment cannot be jeopardized by
unqualified operators. Before an operator can
be considered qualified to operate a piece of
equipment, there should be a significant effort
by the supervisor towards their training and
familiarization with each piece of equipment.
Make sure the operator reads and
understands the Operator's Manual. Have the
operator watch the Operator Training Video,
then explain any unique methods or
procedures used on your grounds.
A supervisor should play a key role in
establishing the proper attitude and behavior
patterns toward operating turf equipment. A
supervisor should not create the impression
that a few minutes orientation on a piece of
equipment will qualify the operator.
Operators and service technicians play a
significant role in determining quality of cut,
down time, and life of mowing equipment.
Make a commitment to train and familiarize
staff with each product. Remember, that each
type of mowing equipment will have specific
operating characteristics, and noise qualities.
Operators should become familiar with the
product and listen for any unusual changes.
Concerns should be reported to the service
technician before significant problems develop.
