Factors That Can Affect Quality of Cut | Toro 3100 manual

Troubleshooting

There are a number of factors that can contribute to un- satisfactory quality of cut, some of which may be turf conditions. Turf conditions such as excessive thatch, “sponginess” or attempting to cut off too much grass height may not always be overcome by adjusting the cutting unit. It is important to remember that the lower the height–of–cut, the more critical these factors are. See Adjustments in the Cutting Unit Operator’s Manual

and the Service and Repairs section in this chapter of this manual for detailed adjustment and repair informa- tion.

For additional information regarding cutting unit trouble- shooting, see Aftercut Appearance Troubleshooting Aid (Toro part no. 00076SL).

Factors That Can Affect Quality of Cut

Factor	Possible Problem/Correction

Tire pressure	Check pressure of all tires. Pressure must be equal on
	both front tires. Adjust pressure as necessary.
	See Chapter 6 – Wheels and Brakes.

Governed engine speed	Check maximum governed engine speed. Adjust
	engine to specifications if necessary.
	See Maintenance section in the Traction Unit
	Operator’s Manual, and/or the Briggs & Stratton Repair
	Manual for 4-cycle V-Twin Cylinder OHV Head Engines

Reel speed	All reels must rotate at the same speed (within 100
	rpm). All cutting units must have equal bedknife to reel
	and height–of–cut adjustments. Check reel speed
	setting if an optional backlap/variable reel speed kit is
	installed.
	See Troubleshooting in Chapter 4 – Hydraulic System
	in this manual.

Reel bearing condition	Check bearings for wear and replace if necessary.
	See Reel and Bearing Removal and Installation in this
	chapter of this manual.

Reel and bedknife sharpness	A reel and/or bedknife that has rounded cutting edges
	or “rifling” (grooved or wavy appearance) cannot be
	corrected by tightening the bedknife to reel contact.
	Grind reel to remove taper and/or rifling. Grind
	bedknife to sharpen and/or remove rifling.
	The most common cause of rifling is bedknife to reel
	contact that is too tight.
	A new bedknife must be ground or backlapped
	after installation to the bedbar.
