MAINTENANCE

The actual speed at which the harmonic will occur will vary with each mower and each installation. To avoid this harmonic vibration when operating the mower, it may be necessary to adjust the engine speed of the tractor up or down.

Some units have a harmonic which occurs below the nominal operating speed. On these units, it will be noticed that there is always a little vibration at a particular RPM as the mower is being sped up to operating speed. This occurs as the shaft passes through its normal harmonic vibration point. As long as the mower is opened at the proper speed, then harmonic vibration will not be an issue.
