Operating Tips - Toro Greensmaster 1021 Operator's Manual

Operating Tips

Important:
Grass clippings act as a lubricant
when mowing. Operating the cutting unit
excessively without grass clippings can damage
the cutting unit.
•
Mow the greens in a straight back-and-forth
direction across the green.
•
Avoid circular mowing or turning the machine on
the greens areas to prevent scuffing.
•
Turn the machine off the green by raising the
cutting reel (pushing the handle down) and
performing a tear-shaped turn on the traction drum
(Figure 18).

•
Mow at a normal walking pace. Fast speeds saves
little time and results in an inferior mowing job.
•
To assist in maintaining a straight line across
the green and to keep the machine an equal
distance from the edge of the previous cut, use the
alignment stripes on the basket
