Height–of–cut “Effective” or actual height–of–cut depends on the
mower weight and turf conditions. Effective
height–of–cut will be different than the bench set
height–of–cut.
Proper bedknife for height–of–cut If the bedknife is too thick for effective height–of–cut,
poor quality of cut will result.
Front roller scraper and comb adjustment Install and/or adjust roller scrapers if grass clippings
build up on the rollers. Set clearance between the
scraper and roller at 1/32 inch (0.8 mm).
Stability of bedbar Make sure bedbar pivot bolts are securely seated.
Check condition of the bushings in the side plates.
See Bedbar in Service and Repairs section.
Number of reel blades Use correct number of blades for clip frequency and
optimum height–of–cut range.
Roller condition Make sure rollers rotate freely. Grease roller when
needed, or repair bearings as necessary.
See Roller Bearing Replacement in Service and
