Mismatched Cutting Units
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
Mismatched cutting units is a pattern of varying cutting
heights, resulting in a stepped cut appearance, usually
due to mismatched HOC (height-of-cut) adjustment from
one cutting unit to another.
Probable Cause Remedy
HOC inconsistent from one cutting unit to another. Check/adjust HOC on cutting units. (Refer to “Safety, Operation,
and Maintenance Manual.”)
Difference in mower ride height side to side. Check/adjust tire inflation pressure. (Refer to “Safety, Operation,
and Maintenance Manual.”)
Difference in cutting reel drive speeds. Check cutting reel drive motor operation and repair/replace as
necessary. (See “Cutting Unit/Charge Pump Test” on
page 6-31.)
