DEMO TIPS Demo site selection • Ideal site would include a combination of sloped areas, obstacles such as trees, benches, buildings, open areas, and the opportunity to demonstrate transport and curb climbing.

Focus on the following areas identifying product attributes and features.

Safety • Longer wheel base and width along with a low center of gravity provide exceptional hillside stability.

Productivity • The Groundsmaster 360 allows the operator to mow areas in less time • The exceptional maneuverability allows the operator to get into and out of tight places without the need to reverse (go into a tight spot and turn going forward to get out) • The steering geometry allows 180/360 degree turns without tearing the turf (on a flat area do a 180 degree turn and show lack of turf tearing) • The wider wheel stance allow the unit to go on slopes while maintaining control (turn 360 degrees on the side hill to show exceptional traction and control) • The trim side (left side) has zero uncut circle (show 180 degree turn with no uncut grass)
