JACOBSEN FAIRWAY 305 Series CG2
SAFETY AND OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Rifling or tramlining is a pattern of varying cutting
heights, resulting in a wave-like cut appearance,
usually due to heavy contact points across a reel
and/or bedknife.
Remedy
Inspect bedknife and reel. Sharpen or replace reel
and bedknife as necessary.
Install, replace or tighten bedknife screws to proper
torque setting.
Reduce mowing (ground) speed.
Mismatched cutting units is a pattern of varying
cutting heights, resulting in a stepped cut
appearance, usually due to mismatched HOC
(height-of-cut) adjustment from one cutting unit
to another.
