10.3 MARCELLING ____________________________________________________________
NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.
Marcelling is a repeated pattern of different cutting
heights, that causes an appearance that is like a wave. In
most cases, the wave tip-to-tip distance is 2 in. (5 cm) or
less.
Probable Cause Remedy
The cut (ground) speed is higher than normal. Reduce the cut (ground) speed.
The HOC (height-of-cut) settings is too low for the turf
conditions.
Check HOC adjustment of cutting units.
The cutting reel diameter is worn. Check the cutting reel diameter and replace if necessary.
