Step Cutting
NOTE: One cutting unit width shown. Arrow indicates
direction of travel.
Step cutting is grass that is cut taller on one side of the
reel than the other. This is usually caused by mechanical
wear or an incorrect roller adjustment.
Probable Cause Remedy
HOC (height-of-cut) settings are different from one side of the
reel to the other.
Check HOC adjustment. (See “Height-of-Cut Adjustment” on
page 8-14.)
Worn roller bearings. Check/replace roller bearings. (See “Front Roller—Solid Tube and
Segmented” on page 10-9.)
Reel-to-bedknife contact is different from one side of the cutting
unit to the other.
Check reel to bedknife contact. (See “Bedknife-to-Reel Adjustment”
on page 8-13.)
