Cutting the Periphery and
Finishing the Job
1. Finish cutting the green by mowing the outer
periphery. Change the direction of cutting from
the previous mowing.
Note:
Use the throttle lever to adjust the
machine speed when you cut the periphery.
This will match the clip to the green and may
reduce triplex ring.
Note:
Always keep weather and turf conditions
in mind and be sure to change the direction of
mowing from the previous cutting.
2. When finished mowing the outer periphery, tap
the raise/lower mow lever rearward to stop the
reels, then drive off the green. When all the
cutting units are off the green, raise the cutting
units.
Note:
This step minimizes grass clumps left on
the green.
3. Replace the flag.
4. Empty the grass baskets of all clippings before
you transport the machine to the next green.
Note:
Heavy wet clippings place an undue
strain on the baskets and add unnecessary
weight to the machine, which increases the load
on the machine systems (e.g., engine, hydraulic
system, and brakes).

and allow the machine to cool before adjusting,
repairing, cleaning, or storing the machine.
