SAFETY, OPERATORS & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Rifling or tramlining is a pattern of varying cutting
heights, resulting in a wave-like cut appearance,
usually due to heavy contact points across a reel and/
or bedknife.
Remedy
Inspect bedknife and reel. Sharpen or replace reel
and bedknife as necessary.
Install, replace or tighten bedknife screw s to proper
torque setting.
Reduce mow ing (ground) speed.
Mismatched cutting units is a pattern of varying
cutting heights, resulting in a stepped cut
appearance, usually due to mismatched HOC
(height-of-cut) adjustment from one cutting unit to
another.
