Why is my Scag Power Equipment Liberty Z SZL52-21FR Lawn Mower leaving strips of uncut grass in the cutting path?

Streaking, or strips of uncut grass in the cutting path, can occur for several reasons. The blades may be dull or worn, or they may have been sharpened incorrectly; in this case, sharpen the blades. The engine RPM might be too low, so ensure the engine is running at full RPM. A slipping belt can also be the cause, so adjust the belt tension. Check for grass accumulation under the deck and clean it if necessary. If you are mowing too fast for the conditions, try slowing down. Cutting wet grass can also cause this issue, so wait until the grass is dry. Bent blades can also cause this problem, so replace them.
