PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
On behalf of Wood Bay Turf Technologies and your local distributor
of our lawn bowling maintenance products, we welcome you as a new
greensIRON 6200 owner. You are rolling in the right direction.
Introducing a greensIRON into your turf maintenance program will
provide many important benefits. Our engineers who designed the
latest greensIRON were thinking about you. We’ve met the challenge
by working with greens keepers, to smooth their green surfaces for
bowls, to increase green speed, to decrease mowing frequency, to
repair the playing surface after aeration and/or top dressing and to
allow an increase in mowing heights to reduce turf stress.
We urge you to read this manual carefully. The instructions and
recommendations outlined will help assure safe and enjoyable use of
this equipment.
Thank you for choosing the greensIRON 6200.
D. Lyall Adams
President

SECTION 1
WARNINGS-SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
PLEASE OBSERVE ALL WARNING STICKERS ON THE EQUIPMENT.
WARNING INDICATES A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR
PERSONAL INJURY COULD OCCUR.
*
WARNING
Do not use your foot, by dragging it on the turf or pushing it against the ditch
board or fence as a method of braking or slowing down the greensIRON
.
Never use your foot to push off from the edge of a bowling green.
*
WARNING
Know how to stop the engine quickly, and understand the operation of all
controls. Never permit anyone to operate the greensIRON
without proper
instructions.
*
WARNING
Do not over fill the fuel tank. There should be no fuel in the filler neck. If any
fuel is spilled, clean it up completely and allow petroleum vapor to dissipate
before starting the engine. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped; do not smoke or allow a flame or sparks in the area. Gasoline is highly
flammable and explosive under certain conditions. Close the filler cap securely.
*
WARNING
The exhaust muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a
period of time after stopping the engine. Be careful not to come in contact with
the exhaust muffler while it is hot.
*
WARNING
Children or passengers must not be allowed to ride on the unit.
*
WARNING
Start and stop the engine from a seated position when possible, and ensure both
pedals are in the neutral position to avoid unexpected movement.
*
WARNING
Be aware of the conditions you are operating under. The greensIRON may
have less traction on wet, or on higher cut turf.
*
WARNING
Ensure that the engine is shut off and disabled prior to servicing any component
under the safety guards, transmission, engine coupler, or the engine itself.
*
WARNING
Wear suitable protective clothing so as to prevent eye or ear impairment or loss.
*
WARNING
Sudden release of a clutch pedal on a hydrostatic model will result in a sudden
stop of the greensIRON.
*
WARNING
Drive the greensIRON up and down ramps carefully on to the bowling green
surface; use the trolley to transport greensIRON to the edge of the green.
*
*
WARNING
WARNING
Do not operate the greensIRON over a plinth board protruding above the
surface of the green.
Do not operate the greensIRON on concrete surfaces.

SECTION 4
OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING YOUR greensIRON 6200 TURF ROLLER
Refer to your Honda engine, and Hydro-Gear hydrostatic pump owner’s manuals for startup and break-in
recommendations.
Check oil level in engine and transmission reservoir (oil tank).
Check oil type and level in hydrostatic transmission reservoir sight glass and ensure that the fluid is not
discolored and that only Mobil 1 Synthetic 15/30 SAE oil is used.
Check fuel level (unleaded fuel is recommended).
Check drive chain adjustment. Chain may require adjustment (eg., tightening) after initial use.
Check on both sides of the greensIRON to ensure there are no obstructions (eg., gravel/stones) that could
impact on the roller covering.
STARTING ENGINE
Turn the fuel switch to the ON position.
Turn the engine switch to the ON position.
Engage the choke switch if required.
Pull the starter recoil handle (it is recommended that the operator start the engine while seated on the
greensIRON). Keep feet off foot pedals.
Once the engine is running, shut off the choke switch and adjust the throttle speed.
Set the throttle speed with the manual throttle lever located on the engine.
To shut down the engine, switch motor to OFF
position, and shut OFF the fuel switch.

PEDAL CONTROL
•Depress the foot pedal for desired direction of travel; left pedal for left travel; right pedal for right travel.
For increased speed, press the pedal down further.
•When stopping, ease back on the foot pedal. CAUTION: Sudden foot pedal release will result in an
IMMEDIATE stop, which could bruise the green. When both pedals are in neutral, the roller will not
move.
•Do not “jam” a foot pedal down quickly to start the turf roller in motion. This will cause the drive roller
to abruptly start and potentially “burn” the turf.
STEERING
Pushing the left handle bar away from the operator will pivot the front of
the steering rollers away from the deck. This will cause the greensIRON
to commence a turn to the right when rolling in that direction, or to the
left when moving in the opposite direction.
Pushing the right handle bar away from the operator will pivot the back of
the steering rollers away from the deck. This will cause the greensIRON
to commence a turn to the left when rolling to the right, or to the right
when rolling to the left.
Avoid over steering to prevent the possibility of bruising the turf.
Always have the greensIRON 6200 in motion when undertaking
turning maneuvers to prevent unnecessary turf damage (bruising the
grass).
LOADING AND UNLOADING
•To transport the greensIRON 6200, hook the
trolley arms under the trolley lift lugs located on
both sides of the deck and press downward on the
trolley handlebars to raise the greensIRON off
the ground. Maneuver in the direction desired.
•Avoid taking the trolley on to a bowling green
surface as the tires may damage the turf surface.
If the trolley must be taken on to the bowling
green, avoid making sharp turns.
•Ensure the transport trolley is removed away from the greensIRON before starting up the engine.
•Ideally, to eliminate the need for taking the trolley on to a bowling green, the operator should use a
shallow sloping ramp suitably fixed to the back boards and then carefully drive the greensIRON 6200 on
to and off the playing surface.

SECTION 4 (con’t)
IRONING TECHNIQUES & PRACTICES
•The most efficient rolling pattern requires the operator to
make the first pass straight up the bowling green along
one edge of the plinth board, then return on the second
pass at a slight angle with the front end of the roller
coming to the place where the back end of the roller had
previously been at the start of the first pass. This
procedure should then be repeated until the entire green
has been rolled in this fashion.
•A recommended practice is to alter the rolling pattern
from one day to the next so that the rolling paths cross
over each other (i.e., if the pattern was run longitudinally
on the green one time, it should be run laterally on the
green the next time). Roll the green in the opposite
direction of play.
•When operating on turf that is wet, accelerate with
caution to avoid spinning the drive roller and damaging
the turf.
•Optimum rolling effect will be obtained at a rolling speed of about 1,000 square feet per minute (3 to 5
MPH).
•Always have the greensIRON in motion when undertaking turning maneuvers (not stationary).
•DO NOT REFUEL THE greensIRON WHILE ON THE GREEN SURFACE.
•DO NOT TAKE THE TROLLEY ON TO THE PLAYING SURFACE IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
•DO NOT LEAVE THE greensIRON SITTING ON THE TURF FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD
OF TIME (rollers will leave marks).
