CUTTING UNITS Troubleshooting Mechanical Troubleshooting—AR-3 Condition Probable Cause Remedy Rotary drive motors do not reach full Engine speed is insufficient, not set to Check/adjust engine speed. (Refer to speed. specification. “Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Manual.”) Rotary drive motors and/or hydraulic Check hydraulic system performance system performance is reduced.
CUTTING UNITS Quality of Cut Troubleshooting—AR-3 Factors That Affect Cut Appearance In most cases, information provided by the user/customer will provide the basis for the repairs and adjustments that are required. However, it is recommended that a “test cut” be performed to evaluate the mower’s performance before beginning repairs.
Page 272
CUTTING UNITS Definition of Terms The following terms are used to describe various cut appearance symptoms. Washboarding 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 approximately 6—8 in.
Page 273
CUTTING UNITS Step Cutting Step cutting occurs when grass is cut taller on one side of a cutting unit than the other or on one side of mower to the other. This is usually caused by mechanical wear or an incorrect roller or deck caster adjustment. TN0221 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
Page 274
CUTTING UNITS Scalping Scalping is a condition in which areas of grass are cut noticeably shorter than the surrounding areas, resulting in a light green or even brown patch. This is usually caused by an excessively low height-of-cut setting and/or uneven turf.
Page 275
CUTTING UNITS Stragglers Stragglers are scattered blades of uncut or poorly cut grass. TN0223 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Dull cutting blade(s). Sharpen blade(s). (Refer to “Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Manual.”) Mowing (ground) speed is too fast. Reduce mowing (ground) speed.
Page 276
CUTTING UNITS Streaks A streak is a line of uncut grass. This is usually caused by a damaged blade. TN0224 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Damaged blade(s). Replace blade(s). (See “Cutter Blade” on page 8-28.) Turning too aggressively. Cutting units don’t overlap during turns Turn less aggressively to allow cutting units to overlap.
Page 277
CUTTING UNITS Windrowing Windrowing is the deposit of clippings concentrated at one end of cutting unit(s) or between cutting units, forming line(s) in the direction of travel. TN0225 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Grass is too tall. Mow more often.
Page 278
CUTTING UNITS Mismatched Cutting Units Mismatched cutting units is a pattern of varying cutting heights, resulting in a stepped cut appearance, usually due to mismatched HOC (height-of-cut) adjustment from one cutting unit to another. TN1278 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy HOC inconsistent from one cutting unit to another.
Page 279
CUTTING UNITS Mechanical Troubleshooting—TR-3 Condition Probable Cause Remedy Reel drive motors do not reach full speed. Engine speed is insufficient, not set to Check/adjust engine speed. (Refer to specification. “Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Manual.”) Reel drive motor(s) and/or hydraulic Check hydraulic system performance system performance is reduced.

CUTTING UNITS Marcelling 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. TN0220 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Mowing (ground) speed is too fast.

CUTTING UNITS Step Cutting Step cutting occurs when grass is cut taller on one side of a reel than the other or one cutting unit to another. This is usually caused by mechanical wear or an incorrect roller or HOC (height-of-cut) adjustment. TN0221 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.

CUTTING UNITS Stragglers Stragglers are scattered blades of uncut or poorly cut grass. TN0223 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Bedknife improperly adjusted. Adjust reel-to-bedknife setting. (Refer to “Safety, Operation, and Maintenance Manual.”) Dull reel or bedknife cutting edges. Sharpen or replace reel blade and bedknife as necessary.
Page 286
CUTTING UNITS Streaks A streak is a line of uncut grass. This is usually caused by a nicked or bent bedknife. TN0224 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Damaged bedknife. Replace bedknife. (See “Bedknife” on page 8-37.) Damaged or unevenly worn reel.
Page 287
CUTTING UNITS Windrowing Windrowing is the deposit of clippings concentrated at one end of cutting unit(s) or between two cutting units, forming a line in the direction of travel. TN0225 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Grass is too tall. Mow more often.
Page 288
CUTTING UNITS Rifling or Tramlining Rifling or tramlining is a pattern of varying cutting heights, resulting in a wave-like cut appearance, usually due to heavy contact points across a reel and/or bedknife. TN0987 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Reel and/or bedknife unevenly worn.

CUTTING UNITS Mismatched Cutting Units Mismatched cutting units is a pattern of varying cutting heights, resulting in a stepped cut appearance, usually due to mismatched HOC (height-of-cut) adjustment from one cutting unit to another.
