7 OPERATION
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.
