will illuminate, warning that the desired clip is not being main-
tained. For example, if the traction speed is zero, the reels will still
run at the minimum speed of about 500 RPM, which will result in a
clip smaller than desired and cause the Reel Control light to illumi-
nate. The approximate ranges of traction speed which will result in
the desired clip are as follows for several of the possible heights of
cut:

* Procedure for maintaining proper clip rate:
1.
Set HOC selector knob to correct letter setting (Per chart located under seat plate).
2.
Maintain ground speed which prevents reel control light from illuminating
SELECTING CLIP RATE (REEL SPEED)
To achieve a consistent, high quality of cut, and a uniform after-cut
appearance, the reel speed be matched to the height of cut. The
machine controller is programmed to automatically control the reel
speed to give the correct clip, even as traction speed changes. To
control the reel speed, the controller must know the height of cut of
the machine, and whether the machine is equipped with 5- or 11-
blade reels.
Adjust the height-of-cut selector knob as follows:
1.
Insure the configuration screen, set by the distributor, is on the
correct setting. (5 or 11 blade.)
2.
Verify the height-of-cut setting on the cutting units. Using the
column of the chart above or the chart under the seat plate, list-
ing either 5- or 11-blade reels, find the height of cut listing
nearest the actual height-of-cut setting. Look across the chart
to find the letter corresponding to that height of cut.
3.
Turn the height-of-cut selector knob to the letter setting deter-
mined in step 2.
4.
Operate the machine for several days, then examine the cut to
