  Ribbing of grass perpendicular to the direction of travel, or a washboard effect, with your Allett Lawn Mower can occur if the cylinder speed is too slow for the forward travel speed, meaning the cylinder belts might be slipping – adjust them as necessary. It may also be caused by a poorly adjusted bottom blade, so re-adjust it. Another potential cause is a blunt cutting cylinder or bottom blade, which would need grinding or reconditioning.
