11.4 SCALPING _______________________________________________________________
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
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 setting and/or uneven
turf.
Probable Cause

Check and adjust the HOC settings.
Turf too uneven for the mower to follow.
Change mowing direction.
Cutting too much grass at one time.
