11.2.3Scalping
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
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.
Probable Cause Remedy
HOC (height-of-cut) settings are lower than normal.
Check and adjust the HOC settings. (Refer to Parts &
Maintenance Manual.)
Turf too uneven for the mower to follow. Change mowing direction.
Cutting too much grass at one time. Mow more often.
Mowing (ground) speed is too fast. Reduce mowing (ground) speed.
