Before Operating CHECK THE ENGINE OIL The engine is shipped with 1.7 liter (with filter) of oil in the crankcase; however, the level of oil must be checked before and after you first start the engine. 1. Position the machine on a level surface. 2. Unscrew the dipstick and wipe it with a clean cloth. Screw the dipstick into the tube and make sure it is seated fully. Unscrew the dipstick and check the oil level.
fuel system damage could result. 1. Fill the gasoline tank to the bottom of the filler neck. DO NOT OVERFILL. Install the cap and tighten it securely in place. DANGER Because gasoline is flammable, use caution when storing or handling lt. Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running, or hot, or when the machine is in an enclosed area. Vapors may build up and be ignited by a spark or flame source many feet away. DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank to prevent the possibility of an explosion.

LIFT PEDAL (Fig. 4)—Depressing the lift pedal during operation stops the reels from turning and lifts the cutting units. The lift pedal must be FULLY depressed until the cutting units are fully raised and have stopped rotating. PARKING BRAKE BUTTON (Fig.

First-Time Operation 6. BREAK-IN PERIOD 1. Refer to the Engine Manual supplied with the Greensmaster 3050 for oil change and maintenance procedures recommended during break-in. 2. Only 8 hours of mowing operation is required for the Greensmaster 3050 break-in period. 3. 4. Check the machine out with the following procedures after the engine has started: A.
CAUTION The interlock switches are for the operator’s protection, so do not disconnect them. Check switch operation daily to assure the interlock system is operating. If a switch is defective, replace it before operating. Regardless of whether the switches are operating properly, replace them every two years to assure maximum safety. Do not rely entirely on safety switches—use common sense! 1.
eign objects. Keep all people, especially children, away from the front of the machine and out of the area of operation. Move the shift selector to Neutral, make sure the mow pedal is disengaged, set the throttle control at half speed and engage the parking brake. Hold the steering wheel, brace your feet on the foot deck and brake pedal, and move the shift selector to the #1 position. Carefully rise off the seat; the engine should stop. If the engine stops, the interlock system is operating correctly. 6.
Operating important, so the mowers do not cut into the fringe area. However, as much of the green as possible should be cut to minimize the amount of grass left to mow around the outer periphery. BEFORE MOWING Inspect the green for debris, remove the flag from the cup, and determine the best direction in which to mow. Always mow in an alternate pattern from the previous mowing, so that the grass blades will be less apt to lay down and become difficult to cut. MOWING PROCEDURES 1.
tank. 6.. Finish cutting the green by mowing the outer periphery. Be sure to change the direction of cutting 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. 78. Empty the grass baskets of all clippings before transporting to the next green.
