BASIC TOOLS & EQUIPMENT <br />Having the correct tools and equipment to maintain dour Har-Tru courts is very <br />important in providing a consistent playing surface. The following is a list of basic <br />tools and equipment that is necessary for a consistent maintenance program. <br />Drag Brush: Drag Brushes are important to have on the <br />courts as they provide grooming and keep the surface <br />consistent. Bristles can replaced as they wear without <br />replacing the whole brush. <br />Line Sweepers: Line Masters are a great tool to keep your <br />Har-Tru surface material off of court lines. The circular <br />brush should be replaced periodically to ensure good <br />consistent brushing. <br />Aussie Clean Sweeps: The Aussies are designed to pick <br />up debris that falls on the courts such as pine needles, <br />leaves etc. The Aussie is also used in place of brushing <br />when you want a less aggressive surface groom and creates <br />less surface drying. <br />Lutes: Having a couple of lutes available for use will be <br />necessary when you want to periodically scrape up loose <br />and dead material from the courts, in need of a light <br />scarifying and conducting patch and repairs on the surface. <br />Replace the blades as they wear down and become less <br />agitating to the court. <br />Har-Tru Gator Rakes: Having a Gator Rake on hand will be <br />essential in case s where the surface will need a deeper <br />scarification. There are hand and tow models available. <br />Steel Bristle Drag Brush: Having a Steel Bristle Drag <br />Brush on hand will also be necessary when you want a less <br />aggressive scarification than with the court rake however <br />using the Steel Bristle Drag Brushes when the surface is <br />too damp will cause surface material to cake on the bristles <br />and drop off. Use the brush when surface is less moist. <br />Rollers: Having a reliable roller will be very important in <br />maintaining Har-Tru tennis courts. Performing preventative <br />maintenance on your equipment will ensure longevity and <br />consistent results. See Owner's Manual for preventative <br />maintenance schedules. <br />32 <br />25G-19
