Abstract/Contents:In order to operate a new irrigation system properly, you can take advantage of many sources of information. "Performance specification sheets are available for all products and should be kept even after the system has been operational so that you can compare the actual performance of your system with its published performance. Owner's manuals are used not only for training but as ongoing references. As you become more familiar with your system, your ability to create better ways of watering your golf course should increase. A maintenance and repair manual will allow you to operate your system at peak performance with less down time. A good maintenance program can help the superintendent spend less money on irrigation repair as well as leave him more time to spend elsewhere on the course. When repairs are needed for the system, the repair manual should have a section where you can record what the problem was and who fixed it." You can save your course money by having the warranty information on all the components handy. The most important part of course documentation, in many respects is the "as-built". All courses have the plans as they were drawn up. An as-built should show you how the system was actually put in. In addition, all changes to your irrigation system should be marked on at least one set of your as-builts. An aerial photograph can be a useful tool in identifying potential problems or planning maintenance or expansion plans. " Many times, potential maintenance problems or future course expansion problems can be anticipated and dealt with more effectively with the aid of proper documentation."
