11.3 MARCELLING _____________________________________________________________

NOTE: 

Arrow indicates direction of travel.

Marcelling, like washboarding, is a cyclical pattern of
varying cutting heights, resulting in a wave-like cut
appearance. In most cases, the wave tip-to-tip distance is
2 in. (5 cm) or less.

Probable Cause

Remedy

Mowing (ground) speed is too fast.

Reduce mowing (ground) speed.

HOC (height-of-cut) setting is too low for turf
conditions.

Check/adjust HOC to turf conditions.

Cutting reel diameter is worn.

Check cutting reel diameter and replace if worn.
