Make a “test cut” to check the performance of the mower before you start the repairs.
This area must have turf conditions that are known and do not change across the area. This type of area allows an
accurate inspection of the perfomance of the mower to be made.
Another “test cut” must be done after the repairs or adjustments to confirm the mower’s performance.
Before you do a “test cut” to show the appearance and performance of the mower, the following items must be
confirmed. These items make sure that the “test cut” is accurate.
1. Cut (Ground) Speed
2. Blade Sharpness
3. Height-of-Cut (HOC)
4. Roller and Roller Bearing Condition
5. Blade Speed
