Selecting Clip Rate (Reel Speed) - Toro REELMASTER 6700-D Operator's Manual

The approximate ranges of traction speed which will result in
the desired clip are as follows for several of the possible heights
of cut:

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, listing 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
determined in step 2.
4. Operate the machine for several days, then examine the cut
to ensure satisfaction with the quality of cut. The height-of-
cut knob may be set one position on either side of the posi-
tion on the chart to account for differences in grass condi-
tion, grass length removed, and personal preference of the
superintendent. For a cut with more grass removed but
slightly more clip visibility, move the height-of-cut selector
knob one position higher than specified. For a cut with less
