None of the cutting reels will turn.
NOTE: To engage the mow circuit,
the seat must be occupied, the cut-
ting units must be fully lowered, the
mow/transport switch must be in the
MOW position and the reel enable/
disable switch must be in the EN-
ABLE position.

Solenoid valve (PRV) is stuck open.
An electrical problem exists that prevents the PRV solenoid valve in
mow control manifold from being energized (See Chapter 5 − Elec-
trical System in this manual). On Reelmaster 3555−D and 3575−D
machines, the problem may include an improperly adjusted or mal-
functioning turn around switch.
Gear pump is worn or damaged.

Poor after−cut appearance (cutting
blades(s) turn too slowly).
NOTE: If possible, have another
person observe the machine while
mowing in dense turf prior to hy-
draulic testing. A bad reel motor
will run slower, produce fewer clip-
pings, and may cause marcelling
(a washboard appearance) on the
turf.
