Scalping is a condition in which areas of grass are
cut noticeably shorter than the surrounding areas,
resulting in a light green or even brown patch. This
is usually caused by an excessively low height-of-
cut setting and/or uneven turf.
Remedy
Check and adjust the HOC settings. (Refer to Parts &
Maintenance Manual.)
Change mowing direction.
Mow more often.
Reduce mowing (ground) speed.
