SAFETY AND OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Marcelling, like washboarding, is a cyclical pattern of
varying cutting heights, resulting in a wave-like cut
appearance. In most cases, the wave tip-to-tip
distance is 2 in. (5 cm) or less.
Remedy
Reduce mowing (ground) speed.
Check/adjust HOC to turf conditions.
Check cutting reel diameter and replace if worn.
