Operation

Training
Before spiking greens, find a clear area to practice
starting, stopping, raising, lowering, and rolling with
the spiker. This training helps you gain experience
and confidence with the spiker before using it on a
green.

Operating Tips

•
Survey the green to determine if there are any
obstacles that will be damaged or will damage
the spikers, such as sprinkler heads or other
protruding objects.
•
Maintain a straight line when spiking. Do not turn
the machine when the spikers are fully lowered
and contacting the ground.
•
When you reach the edge of the green, raise the
spikers before turning or stopping the machine.
You must raise the spikers completely before
making turns.
