FOREWORD TABLE OF CONTENTS The GREENSMASTER 1000 was developed to provide an efficient, trouble-free method of mowing high quality-turf on the finest greens. The latest concepts of engineering, design and safety have been incorporated into this machine, along with the highest quality parts and workmanship. Excellent service will be derived if proper operation and maintenance practices are followed.
Safety Training 1. Read the instructions carefully. Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment. 2. Never allow children or people unfamiliar with these instructions to use the lawn mower. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator. 3. Never mow while people, especially children, or pets are nearby. 4. 2. Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used and remove all objects which may be thrown by the machine. 3. WARNING—Petrol is highly flammable.
care. To guard against overturning: • do not stop or start suddenly when going up or downhill; • change into neutral and set the parking brake; • stop the engine and remove the key. • engage the clutch slowly, and always keep the machine in gear, especially when travailing downhill; 13. Disengage the drive to attachments when transporting or not in use. • machine speeds should be kept low on slopes and during tight turns; 14.
7. If the fuel tank has to be drained, this should be done outdoors. 8. Be careful during adjustment of the machine to prevent entrapment of the fingers between moving blades and fixed parts of the machine. 9. On multi-bladed machines, take care as rotating one blade can cause other blades to rotate. 10. When the machine is to be parked, stored or left unattended, lower the cutting means unless a positive mechanical lock is used.

Preparation Before Operating ADD OIL More frequent oil changes are required in dusty or dirty conditions. Initially, the crankcase must be filled with 16 ounces of proper viscosity oil (See chart below). Use any high-quality detergent oil having the American Petroleum Institute (API) “service classification”–MS, or SC. Temperature 10°C or below 10°C to 35°C Above 35°C 1. Oil Viscosity SAE 10W30 SAE 10W30 or 30 SAE 40 Position the mower so the engine is level and clean around the oil level gauge (Fig.
LEVELING THE REAR DRUM TO THE REEL 1. Position the machine on a flat, level surface, preferably a precision steel plate. Place a 1/4” x 1” flat steel strip, 24” long, under the reel blades and against the front edge of the bed knife to prevent the bedbar from resting on the work surface. 2. Raise the front roller so that only the rear drum and the reel are on the surface. 3. Firmly press down on the machine above the reel so all reel blades contact the steel strip. 4.
Fig. 5 Fig. 6 Note: Each time the adjusting screw is rotated one flat, the bedknife moves .003” closer to the reel. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE ADJUSTING SCREW. 4. Check for light contact at the other end of the reel using the paper and adjust as required. Make sure to tighten the jam nuts on the adjusting screws after completing adjustment. 5. After adjustment, check to see if the reel can pinch paper when it is inserted from the front and cut paper when inserted at a right angle to the bedknife (Fig. 5).
IMPORTANT: When set properly, the rear and front rollers will contact the gauge bar and the screw will be snug against the bedknife. This assures height of cut is identical at both ends of the bedknife. Fig. 9 1. 2. Tighten the nuts at the sides of the height-of-cut brackets to lock adjustment. IMPORTANT: To avoid scalping on undulating turf, make sure the roller supports are positioned rearward (roller closer to the reel). 2.
Note: The bar is adjustable to compensate for changes in turf conditions. The bar should be adjusted closer to the reel when turf is extremely wet. By contrast, adjust the bar further away from the reel when turf conditions are dry. The bar should be parallel to the reel to assure optimum performance and should be adjusted whenever shield height is adjusted or whenever the reel is sharpened on a reel grinder. INSTALL THE GRASS BASKET 1.
Controls Traction Engagement Lever (Fig. 12)—Located on the front right side of the control panel. The lever has two positions: NEUTRAL and FORWARD. Pushing the lever forward engages the traction drive. On/Off Switch (Fig. 12)—Located on the left rear side of control panel. Move switch to ON to start the engine and to OFF to stop the engine. Service/Park Brake (Fig. 12)—Located on the left front side of control panel. Use the brake to slow or stop the machine. The brake can also be used as a parking brake.

Operating Instructions STARTING AND STOPPING TRANSPORT OPERATION Note: Make sure the spark plug wire is installed on the spark plug. 1. Push the kick stand down with your foot and pull up on the handle to raise the rear of the mower and install the transport wheels. 2. To release the kickstand, push the mower forward and then downward on handle. Note: The engine will not start if the traction lever is in the engaged position. 3.
by whipping the turf with a bamboo pole or by dragging a hose over the area. Be sure the mower is carefully adjusted and is set evenly on both sides of the reel. Improper mower adjustment is magnified many times in the appearance of the clipped turf. A three-tofive foot wide “collar” should be mowed around the area at a slightly higher cut than the putting green area. This will provide sufficient space for turning the mower without turning on the green area.
LUBRICATION GREASE FITTINGS The (12) grease fittings on the mower should be greased at least every 25 hours. Lubricate using No. 2 multi-purpose lithium base grease. A hand operated grease gun is recommended for best results. 1. Wipe each grease fitting with a clean rag. 2. The grease fitting locations are: (2) on The front Roller (Fig. 16 ), (2) on the reel bearings (Fig. 16), (2) on Drum Axles (Fig. 17), (3) on Differential (Fig. 17), (2) on The reel Countershaft Bearings (Fig.
