Operation
Stowing the Drag Mat
Whenever you are not using the drag mat, stow it in
the cradles.
To stow the drag mat, simply roll it up and place it in
the cradles.
Using the Drag Mat
Important:
Do not drive the machine backward
when the drag mat is connected and on the
ground; the drag mat gets caught under the
wheels, and damages the machine.
Use caution while operating the machine with the drag
mat installed. Keep operating speeds to a minimum
acceptable level. For maximum mat life, avoid areas
and objects that may snag or interrupt the travel of
the mat.
1.
With the drag mat stowed in the cradles, drive
the machine to an area that requires grooming.
2.
Remove the drag mat from the cradles, and
place it on the ground.
3.
Pull the drag mat over the surface that requires
grooming.
4.
When you have finished or are ready to groom a
different area, stow the drag mat in the cradles.
Cleaning the Drag Mat
Keep the drag mat clean. Excessive soil buildup
increases the attachment weight and may affect
handling of the machine.
