Adjusting the Cutting Height
Your mower’s cutting height has been
set at the factory to its highest position,
approximately ¾”. After you’ve made
a few passes over your green, you may
decide you need to lower the cutting
height. The height is adjustable from
1
/
8
” to ¾”. To do so, simply turn the
height adjustment knob as shown in
Figure 4. Turning the knob Clockwise
raises the height, turning
Counterclockwise lowers the height.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your
mower seems to be hard to push, it’s
very likely that you are trying to cut
too much height at one time. You may
have to trim the green by another
method, and then gradually take more
length off by adjusting the greens-
mower, preferably in
1
/
16
” increments.
It is also possible to set the height
adjustment so low that the bed knife
drags the ground. In that case the
mower will be almost impossible to
push. Raise the height until there is no
resistance.
SECTION IV,
MAINTENANCE
( There is none! Play on through! )
Your GreensMower has been designed to be virtually maintenance-free under normal use and care.
There are no adjustments to make other than cutting or handle height. All bearings are sealed and
need no oiling or grease. Surfaces are either plated or powder-coated. Simply use and clean.
SECTION V, CLEANUP
AFTER USE/OFF-SEASON STORAGE
After each use, remove the grass catcher, empty and hose out. Hose down the blade area to remove
grass clippings. Let dry. For maximum protection, we recommend that you wipe down the
entire unit and spray a light coating of protective film, such as WD-40.
