The Importance of the Operator
and Equipment Manager
The large investment in specialized cutting
equipment cannot be jeopardized by unqualified
operators. Before an operator can be considered
qualified to operate a piece of equipment, there
should be a significant effort by the supervisor
towards their training and familiarization with each
product. All too frequently this procedure is not
followed, with the end result being costly repairs,
down time and a decrease in equipment life. Cost for
these types of repairs far exceeds the cost expanded
in training and familiarization of the operator.
Importance of
the supervisor
A supervisor should play a key role in establishing
the proper attitude and behavior patterns towards
operating turf equipment. A supervisor should not
create the impression that a few minutes orientation
on a piece of equipment will qualify the operator.
