OPERATION
Lithium
Operators should practice mowing in a clear area to become familiar with raising and lowering the reels. Practicing, by
turning reel motors off (See
Operator Mode
on page 28 ) , will help the operator become proficient at starting and stop -
ping each pass within a foot or two of the edge of the green. Then only one final pass around the green will be required to
finish the operation.
Several factors may determine the direction of the mowing pattern. Sand traps or other hazards near the green and trees
or other objects can restrict where turns are made. The terrain of the green may also be a factor, but if conditions allow,
always try to mow the green in a different direction than the last time it was mowed.
1. Stop the unit just before reaching the green and raise the reels. Set the mow switch to ON.
2. Proceed toward the green at mowing speed.
See
Frequency of Cut
on page 34 for matching mowing speed to
desired Frequency of Cut.
3. Lower the reels as the front grass catchers cross the edge of the green. At the end of the pass, raise the reels as the
just before grass catchers cross the edge of the green.
4. Always make mowing passes across the green in a straight line. Do NOT start to make the turn for the next pass
until the center wheel is off the green, this will eliminate the possibility of the tires tearing the turf during the turn.
5. Each successive pass should overlap the previous one by a few inches.
6. After all of the straight passes have been made, make one final pass around the outer edge of the green. This final
pass should always be in the opposite direction from the last time the green was mowed.
7. Empty the grass catchers before proceeding to the next green. To remove or install the grass catchers, turn mow
switch OFF, lower the reels to the ground, and shut off the unit. Tilt the grass catcher body so the front edge clears
the mower frame, and slide the catcher onto or off the catcher frame.
8. Stop and raise the mowers to the transport position when crossing paths or roadways. Look out for traffic.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the reel and bedknife, never
operate reels when they are not cutting grass.
NOTICE
Always remove the flag and inspect the green
before mowing. Remove debris or other objects
that may damage the reels and/or bedknives.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the green, NEVER stop the for -
ward motion of the mower while on the green with
the reels turning. Stopping the mower on a wet
green may cause wheel indentations.
NOTICE
When verticutting with the Eclipse 360 Jacobsen
recommends setting the reel speed at 1800 rpm. If
the reel motor temperature or current exceeds lim -
its, reduce ground speed of mower, reduce reel
speed, or adjust verticutter depth.
