GRASS CUTTING FAULTS
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Turning too tightly
Mower sliding sideways when
travelling across face of slope
One end of cutterhead out of ground contact
caused by:
- Poorly routed hoses or wrongly
positioned hydraulic adaptors
- Pivot pins seizing
- Grass build up under cutterhead
Forward speed too high
Cylinder speed too slow
Height of cut too low
Cylinder is running slow
Inconsistent height of cut setting on one
cylinder
Control lever in 'Neutral' position
Cylinder is partially out of contact with
bottom blade
Cylinder is in heavy contact with bottom
blade
Height of cut is too high
Cutting edges of cutting cylinders /
bottom blades are rounded
REMEDY
Reduce turning radius
Mow up/down slope
Reroute hoses/reposition hydraulic adaptors
Free off and grease pivot points
Remove grass
Reduce forward speed
Increase tractor engine speed
Raise height of cut
Refer to TROUBLE SHOOTING for
remedy
Check and readjust height of cut
setting
Operate control lever to 'Down / Float'
