Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Corrective Action
1. You are turning too tightly. 1. Increase the turning radius
2. The machine slides sideways when
travelling across the face of a slope.
2. Mow up/down the slope.
3. There is no ground contact on 1 end
of the cutting unit because of poorly
routed hoses or wrongly positioned
hydraulic adapters.
3. Correct the hose routing or the position
of the hydraulic adapters.
4. There is no ground contact on 1 end
of the cutting unit because a pivot pin
is seizing.
4. Release and grease the pivot points.
There are areas of uncut grass at the
overlap between cutting units.
5. There is no ground contact on 1 end
of the cutting unit because of grass
buildup under the cutting unit.
5. Clear the grass buildup.
1. The forward speed is too high. 1. Reduce forward speed.
2. The reel speed is too slow. 2. Increase the mower engine speed.
There are full-width ridge lines in the cut
across the direction of travel.
3. The height of cut is too low. 3. Raise the height of cut.
There are ridge lines in the cut grass,
across the direction of travel, over the
cutting width of 1 cutting unit. 1. A reel is running slow. 1. Check the reel speed; consult your
authorized distributor.
1. There is an inconsistent height-of-cut
setting on 1 cutting unit.
1. Check and adjust the height-of-cut
setting.
2. The raise/lower position control is not
in the float position.
2. Set the position control to the float
position.
3. There is no ground contact on 1 end
of the cutting unit because of poorly
routed hoses or wrongly positioned
hydraulic adapters.
3. Correct the hose routing and the
position of the hydraulic adapters.
4. There is no ground contact on 1 end of
the cutting unit because of pivot pins
seizing.
4. Release and grease the pivot points.
There is a step in the cut grass height at
the point of overlap between cutting units.
5. There is no ground contact on 1 end
of the cutting unit because of grass
buildup under the cutting unit
5. Remove the grass buildup.
1. A reel is partially out of contact with
the bedknife.
1. Adjust the reel-to-bedknife contact.
2. A reel is in heavy contact with the
bedknife.
2. Adjust the reel-to-bedknife contact.
3. The height of cut is too high. 3. Lower the height of cut.
There are some uncut or poorly cut
strands of grass.
4. The cutting edges of the
reels/bedknives are rounded.
4. Back lap or grind the edges.
1. There is tram lining of the cutting edges
due to heavy contact caused by poor
reel-to-bedknife adjustment.
1. Back lap or grind the edges.
2. The bedknife is in contact with the
ground.
2. Raise the height of cut.
3. The bedknife has a nose-down angle. 3. Adjust the cutting unit to position the
bedknife parallel to the ground.
4. The cutting units are bouncing. 4. Reduce the forward speed and reduce
the weight transfer.
5. There are worn reel bearings/bearing
housing pivots.
5. Replace any worn parts.
There are lines of uncut or badly cut grass
in the direction of travel.
6. There are loose components in the
cutting unit.
6. Check and tighten components as
necessary.
