| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests golf course superintendents implement a preventive maintenance program, which should "provide the necessary checks, lubrication and adjustment as recommended by the equipment manufacturer"; "evaluate component wear and performance"; "record all data for both office and on-site review purposes"; "observe the system during operation"; and "perform this service on a frequent basis." Discusses irrigation systems and operation, stating that "selecting a service provider that specializes in pumps and controls, and is in tune to the needs of the golf course irrigation system, is crucial." Lists tools "necessary to institute a thorough preventive maintenance program", inluding a voltage meter, packing puller, decibel meter, and grease gun. Also lists "standard replacement parts", inlcuding motor oil and grease, stem o-rings, touch-up paint, and pump packing. |
