SECTION I, SAFETY / OWNER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
We have provided you with a mower that is as reliable and safe to use as possible. Please take the
time to read, understand and follow all the instructions and safety warnings found on the following
pages. Failure to do so may result in bodily injury and damage to the mower.
It is your responsibility to
properly maintain and
operate this equipment.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, Keep clothing, fingers and feet clear of the cutting
blades and any other exposed moving parts.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, Use both hands and proper posture when operating
the mower.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, If it is necessary to life the mower, use two people. The
mower weighs approximately 82 pounds. Trying to lift it by yourself may result
in back injury!
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE MOWER:
Watch for foreign objects in the mowing path, such as rocks, sticks, golf balls and tees, etc.
Don’t drop, rock, bounce, or otherwise abuse the mower. Don’t attempt to mow an area other than a
putting green, fringe area, or other close-cut golfing area. Don’t try to cut tall grass.
Use the rear roller method to move the mower from one area to another when not actually mowing.
See Section III, Figure 3 for details.

five positions for your most comfortable

Transporting the Mower from
5 Handle
Positions
One Location to Another
When you take the mower from one
location to another, for example, from
your garage to the putting green, you’ll
need to change the handle position. This
allows you to push the mower on its rear
roller. To move the handle to the
“transport” position, simply raise the
handle height adjusting bar, move the handle forward, and lower the bar into place in the frame
slots. See Figures 2 and 3. DO NOT move the mower around, while off the green, in its mowing
position.
Operating the Mower
Once you’ve moved the mower to the green and
adjusted the handle, simply push away. With no
gas engine, you won’t even have to wear hearing
protection, so you can enjoy the sounds of nature
while you’re getting ready to improve your golf
game. However, you should always keep your
eyes open for foreign objects in the mowing
path*, such as rocks, twigs, discarded golf clubs,
etc., anything that could get caught in the mower
blades and damage them. Blades damaged by
foreign objects are not covered by warranty.
