Training Period

Before mowing greens with the machine, it is
recommended that you find a clear area and practice
starting and stopping, raising and lowering the cutting
units, turning, etc. This training period will be beneficial to
the operator in gaining confidence in the performance of
the machine.

Before Mowing

Inspect the green for debris, remove the flag from the cup,
and determine the best direction to mow. Base the direction
to mow on the previous mowing direction. Always mow in
an alternate pattern from the previous mowing so that the
grass blades will be less apt to lay down and therefore be
difficult to trap between the reel blades and bedknife.
