6.8 MOWING_________________________________________________________________
1. Stop the engine. Place mower on kickstand and
remove the transport wheels.
2. Engage the reel clutch lever (H
1
) and the traction
clutch lever (G
1
). Push the mower forward off
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.
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 6F]
Note: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.
4. To assure complete, even cutting, overlap swaths by
1 to 2 in., (25 to 50 mm), 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 6G
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 or traction clutch levers
while the engine is running or the O.P.C. bail is
engaged.
