Possible Problem/Correction
Set attitude (angle) as recommended.
See Leveling Front Roller to Reel and Attitude
Adjustments.
Check and adjust as necessary. The rear roller must
be leveled so it is parallel with the reel for proper
height–of–cut setting.
See Height–of–Cut Adjustment.
"Effective" or actual height–of–cut depends on the
cutting unit weight and turf conditions. Effective
height–of–cut will be different from the bench set
height–of–cut.
See Height–of–Cut Adjustment.
If the bedknife is too thick for effective height–of–cut,
poor quality of cut will result.
Make sure bedbar pivot bolts are seated securely.
Check condition of the bushings in the side plates.
See Bedbar Removal and Installation.
Use correct number of blades for clip frequency and
optimum height–of–cut range.
Check pull frames and lift arms for damage, binding, or
bushing wear. Repair if necessary.
Make sure rollers rotate freely. Grease roller as
recommended and repair bearings as necessary.
See Roller Bearing Replacement in Service and
Repairs section.
All reels must rotate at the same speed (within 100
rpm). All cutting units must have equal bedknife to
reel, front roller to reel, attitude, and height–of–cut
adjustments. Check reel speed setting if a
backlap/variable reel speed kit is installed.
See Adjustments in this chapter and Troubleshooting
in Chapter 5 – Hydraulic System.
Check maximum governed engine speed. Adjust
engine to specifications if necessary. See Adjustments
section in Chapter 3 or 4 – Vanguard or Perkins
Engine. Check traction pedal adjustment.
See Adjusting Transport and Mowing Speed, and
Troubleshooting in Chapter 5 – Hydraulic System.
Center cutting unit must drop after front cutting units.
See Troubleshooting in Chapter 5 – Hydraulic System.
