• stay alert for bumps and hollows and other hidden hazards; • never mow across the face of the slope, unless the lawn mower is designed for this purpose. adjustment can be made from the operator’s position. 6. Use care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment. • Use only approved drawbar hitch points. • Limit loads to those you can safely control. • Do not turn sharply. Use care when reversing. • Use counterweight(s) or wheel weights when suggested in the instruction handbook. 9.

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. 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.
Phillips Shell Texaco Union Oil HG fluid Donax TD TDH Hydraulic/Tractor fluid 2 3 Note: The fluids within this group are interchangeable.
It is recommended that you select the set of conditions (either ambient temperatures above 70° F, or below 100° F), and use that type of fluid throughout the year, instead of changing fluid types several times during the year. TIRE PRESSURE Group 3 Hydraulic Fluid (Biodegradable): Vary the tire pressure for the drive wheels, depending on your turf conditions, from a minimum of 55 KPa to a maximum of 83 KPa The tires are over-inflated at the factory for shipping.
Controls MOW PEDAL (Fig. 4)—Depressing the mow pedal FULLY during operation lowers the cutting units and starts the reels. 3 BRAKE PEDAL (Fig. 4)—The brake pedal actuates an automotive drum-type mechanical brake. 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 BREAK-IN PERIOD 1. Refer to the Engine Manual supplied with the Greensmaster 3100 for oil change and maintenance procedures recommended during break-in. 2. Only 8 hours of mowing operation is required for the Greensmaster 3100 break-in period. 3. 4. 6. 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.
PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR MOWING To help align the machine for successive cutting passes, do the following to the No. 2 and No. 3 cutting-unit baskets: 1. Measure in approximately 12 cm from the outer edge of each basket. 2. Either place a strip of white tape or paint a line onto each basket paralleling the outer edge of each basket (Fig. 13).
Operating 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 5. mowing, so that the grass blades will be less apt to lay down and become difficult to cut. MOWING PROCEDURES 1. Approach the green with the shift selector in the number 1 position. Start on one edge of the green so the ribbon procedure of cutting may be used.
brakes, etc. 4 LEAK DETECTOR OPERATION 2 3 1 The leak detector alarm may sound for one of the following reasons: 1. A leak has occurred. 2. The oil level in the main reservoir is reduced by 4 to 6 ounces due to oil contraction from cooling. If the alarm sounds, turn it off as quickly as possible and inspect for leaks. If the alarm sounds while operating on a green, drive off the green first. Determine the source of the leak and repair it before continuing operation.
4. After you achieve the desired setting, hold the knob to prevent any rotation and tighten the jam nut. ADJUSTING LIFT CYLINDERS When in the raised (transport) position, the front lift cylinders may be adjusted. 1. Lower the cutting units to the floor. 2. Loosen the jam nut on the clevis of the cutting unit lift cylinder to be adjusted. 3. Disconnect the cylinder clevis from the lift arm. 4. Rotate the clevis until you achieve the desired height. 5.
