6.7 MOWING_________________________________________________________________
1. Stop engine. Place mower on kickstand and remove
the transport wheels if installed. See Section 6.5.
2. Engage the reel lever (E) and push mower off the
kickstand. Start the engine.
3. Position mower slightly off the green.
a. Adjust engine speed (B) to provide a safe,
comfortable walking speed.
b. Push handle down to lift the mower head above
the grass then engage the O.P.C. bail (C).
c. As the mower crosses the edge of the green,
lower the mower head to the ground and proceed
across the green in a straight line. While mowing
support the handle so the handle tubes do not
contact the handle stops. Allowing the handle to
rest on the handle stops or pushing the handle
up into the stops may result in an uneven cut.
d. When the opposite side of the green is reached,
push down of the handle to lift the mower head
without disengaging the O.P.C. bail and proceed
off the green to turn around or simply release
O.P.C. bail and turn around.
e. To turn to the right, start by turning mower
slightly to the left (2). When the mower has
moved approximately 1/2 its own width to the left,
swing it around quickly to the right (3 and 4),
guiding the mower with your right hand. This
method makes it possible to turn around quickly
with very few steps. [Figure 6E]
4. To assure complete, even cutting, overlap swaths by
1 to 2 in. (2.5 to 5.1 cm), then make one or more
passes around the perimeter of the green to clean
ragged edges and separate the putting green
surface from the apron.
5. For a more even playing surface and neater
appearance, alter the mowing pattern each time a
green is mowed. The patterns shown in Figure 6F
are suggestions only, the operator or course
superintendant can arrange patterns to suit each
green.
6. Use caution while operating on hillside and drop-
offs.

WARNING
To prevent bodily injury or property damage, never
engage the reel clutch lever while the engine is
running or the O.P.C. bail is engaged.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the reel and bedknife never
operate the reels when they are not cutting grass.
Excessive friction and heat will develop between the
bedknife and reel, and damage the cutting edge.
