CONTROLS

FREQUENCY OF CUT ________________________________________________

B
The FOC (Frequency of Cut) is the distance, in inches (cm), the machine travels forward between reel blades contacting
the bedknife. The FOC can be adjusted either by changing the Fixed FOC setting or by changing the maximum mow
speed and the fixed reel speed on the LCD display.
Adjust FOC with Fixed FOC setting
Changing the FOC setting to a value other than 0 will enable the fixed FOC mode and overrides the reel speed setting.
As mower travel speed increases or decreases, reel speed will automatically adjust as required to maintain set FOC.
Adjust FOC with Reel Speed Setting
1. Using the FOC charts, determine the maximum mow speed and fixed reel speed required for the desired FOC.
2. Switch to Maintenance Mode. See Maintenance Mode on page 29.
3. Set fixed FOC setting to 0.
4. Set desired Maximum Mow Speed.
5. Set desired Fixed Reel Speed.

NOTICE
When using a fixed FOC setting, the reels will not
turn if the mower is not moving.
Maximum mow speed may be lower than what is
set in the LDU when using a very low FOC.
