Keep focal spot 1.8-3
m (6-10 ft) ahead of the
machine.

Mowing

Before mowing greens, find a clear area and practice starting
and stopping the machine, raising and lowering the cutting
units, turning, etc.

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 the bedknife.

1.

Approach the green with the functional-control lever
in the M

OW

position and the throttle at full speed.

2.

Start on one edge of the green so that you can use the
ribbon procedure of cutting.

Note:

This holds compaction to a minimum and

leaves a neat, attractive pattern on the greens.

3.

Actuate the raise/lower mow lever as the front edges
of the grass baskets cross the outer edge of the green.

Note:

This procedure drops the cutting units to the

turf and starts the reels.

Important:

The No. 1 cutting unit reel is delayed;

therefore, you should practice to gain the required

timing necessary to minimize the cleanup mowing
operation.

4.

Overlap a minimal amount with the previous cut on
return passes.

Note:

To assist in maintaining a straight line across

the green and keep the machine an equal distance from
the edge of the previous cut, establish an imaginary
sight line approximately 1.8 to 3 m (6 to 10 ft) ahead
of the machine to the edge of the uncut portion of the
green (

Figure 30

and

Figure 31

). Some find it useful to

include the outer edge of the steering wheel as part of
the sight line; i.e. keep the steering wheel edge aligned
with a point that is always kept the same distance away
from the front of the machine.

5.

As the front edges of the baskets cross the edge of the
green, move the raise/lower mow lever rearward and
hold it until all the cutting units have risen. This will
stop the reels and lift the cutting units.

Note:

It is important to time this step correctly so

that you do not cut into the fringe area yet cut as much
of the green as possible to minimize the amount of
grass left to mow around the outer periphery.

6.

To cut down on operating time and ease lineup for
the next pass, momentarily turn the machine in the
opposite direction, then turn it in the direction of the
uncut portion; i.e., if intending to turn right, first swing
slightly left, then right.

Note:

This will assist in getting the machine more

quickly aligned for the next pass. Try to make as short
of a turn as possible except during warmer weather
when a wider arc will minimize the turf bruising.
