ine the cut to ensure you are satisfied with the qual-
ity of cut. The reel speed knob may be set one
position of either side of the position on the chart to
account for differences in grass condition, grass
length removed, and your personal preferences.
Training Period
Before mowing with the Reelmaster, The Toro Company
suggests you find a clear area and practice starting and
stopping, raising and lowering the cutting units, turning,
etc. This training period will help the operator gain con-
fidence in the performance of the Reelmaster.
Before Mowing
Inspect the area for debris and clear it if necessary.
Determine the direction best 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 gath-
er between the reel blades and bedknife.
Transport Operation
Be sure the cutting units are in the fully up position,
move the traction pedal stop from under the pedal to
allow full traction pedal travel and place the throttle
control FAST. While operating on slopes and uneven
terrain, always reduce speed and use extreme caution
before turning to reduce risk of tipping or losing control.
Watch carefully for, and avoid, holes in the terrain, sud-
den drop-off s and other hidden hazards. To prevent
costly damage and downtime, familiarize yourself with
the width of the Reelmaster. Do not attempt to pass
between immovable objects placed close together.
Inspection And Clean-Up After
Mowing
After mowing, thoroughly wash the machine with a gar-
den hose—without a nozzle so excessive water pressure
will not cause contamination and damage to seals and
bearings.
