Note: One way to find a bad reel motor is to have

another person observe the machine while mowing in

dense turf. A bad motor will run slower, produce fewer

clippings, and may cause marcelling (or a washboard

appearance) on the turf.

1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temper-

ature before doing test.

CAUTION

Keep away from reels during tests to prevent

personal injury from rotating blades. Do not

stand in front of the machine.
