Streaks
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
A streak is a line of uncut grass. This is usually caused by
a damaged bedknife or reel blade.
Probable Cause Remedy
Damaged bedknife. Replace bedknife. (See “Bedknife” on page 8-33.)
Damaged or unevenly worn reel. Inspect reel. Replace as needed. (See “Reel Assembly” on
page 8-37 or “Front Roller” on page 8-38.)
Loose or missing bedknife fasteners. Check bedknife screws. Tighten loose screws; replace missing
screws. (See “Bedknife” on page 8-33.)
Incorrect roller. Install correct roller for application. (See “Front Roller” on page 8-38
or “Rear Roller” on page 8-38.)
Bedknife is matting the grass down. Install correct bedknife for application.
Turning too aggressively. Cutting units don’t overlap during
turns or on side hills.
Turn less aggressively to allow cutting units to overlap. Change
mowing direction or pattern on side hills.
Tire mats down grass before it is cut. Check/adjust tire inflation pressure. (Refer to “Parts and
Maintenance Manual.”)
Wet grass is matted down before it is cut. Cut when grass is dry.
