Cutting Reel Motor Efficiency Test (Using
Tester with Flow Meter and Pressure Gauge)

Note:
Over a period of time, a reel motor can wear internally. A worn motor may
by-pass fluid to its case drain causing the motor to be less efficient. Eventually,
enough fluid loss will cause the reel motor to stall under heavy cutting conditions.
Continued operation with a worn, inefficient motor can generate excessive heat,
cause damage to seals, and other components in the hydraulic system and
affect quality of cut.
Note:
To find a damaged reel motor, have a person observe the machine while
mowing in dense turf. A damaged motor will run slower than other motors,
produce fewer clippings, and may cause clip marks (a choppy appearance) on
the turf.
