Setting The Reel Speed - Toro Reelmaster 5610-D Operator's Manual

Setting the Reel Speed

It is important that proper reel speeds are used for your mowing application.
• Reel speeds that are too slow may result in a wave pattern in the turf, also known
as clip marks, marcelling, or bobbing. If this is observed, try increasing the reel
speeds or reducing the mowing speed.
• Reel speeds that are too fast may result in turf damage and/or premature wear of
the reels, bedknives, and other mechanical components.
To adjust the reel speed manually, complete the following:
1. In Machine Settings, enter the blade count, mow speed, and HOC to calculate the
proper reel speed.
2. If further adjustments are required, in Machine Settings , scroll down to Front Reel
Speed, Rear Reel Speed, or both.
3. Press the right navigation button to change the reel speed value. As the speed setting is
changed, the display continues to show the calculated reel speed based on blade count,
mow speed, and HOC, but the new value is also shown.
