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.
QUALITY OF CUT 11.4 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.
QUALITY OF CUT 11.5 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 (HOC) setting and/or uneven turf.

TN0223 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Bedknife improperly adjusted. Adjust reel-to-bedknife setting. Dull reel or bedknife cutting edges.
