green may leave marks or indentations from the
wheels.
6. Finish cutting the green by mowing the outer
periphery. Be sure to change the direction of cut-
ting from the previous mowing. Always keep
weather and turf conditions in mind and be sure to
change the direction of mowing from the previous
cutting. Replace the flag.
7. Empty the grass baskets of all clippings before
transporting to the next green. Heavy wet clippings
place an undue strain on the baskets and add unnec-
essary weight to the machine, thereby increasing
the load on the engine, hydraulic system, brakes,
etc.
TRANSPORT OPERATION
Make sure the cutting units are in the full up position.
Set the shift selector in No. 2 if conditions will permit
faster ground speed. Shift to No. 1 and operate at slower
ground speeds in rough or hilly areas. Use the brakes to
slow the machine while going down steep hills to avoid
loss of control. Always approach rough areas at a
reduced speed (shift selector in No. 1), and cross severe
undulations carefully. Familiarize yourself with the
width of the Greensmaster 3000-D. Do not attempt to
pass between objects that are close together so that cost-
ly damage and downtime can be prevented.
The Greensmaster 3000-D should never be used as
a tow vehicle. The gusset on the rear frame may be
used as a tiedown for transporting the machine on a
trailer or truck, but never as a hitch point. Loss of
steering may occur causing possible injury.
INSPECTION AND CLEAN-UP
AFTER MOWING
After mowing, thoroughly wash the machine with a gar-
den hose (without a nozzle so that excessive water pres-
sure will not contaminate and damage the seals and
bearings). After cleaning, inspect the machine for possi-
ble hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic

and mechanical components and check the cutting units
for sharpness. Also, lubricate the mow and lift pedal
and brake shaft assembly with SAE 30 oil or spray
lubricant to deter corrosion and help keep the machine
performing satisfactorily during the next mowing opera-
tion .
