Inmost cases, the wave tip-to-tip distance isapproximately 6—8 in. (15—20 cm). Colour variation(light-to-dark) may also be noticed.This condition isusually caused by a rocking motion in the cuttingunit(s). This condition is found mostly on mowers withmultiple (suspended) cutting units, but other causescan produce the same result.Washboarding may alsobe caused by variations in the turf.esuaCelbaborP ydemeR.tsafootsideeps)dnuorg(gniwoM .deeps)dnuorg(gniwomecudeR.rellornopu-dliubssarG .sehsurbrosreparcsesudnarellorehtnaelC.dnuorfotuosirelloR .rellorecalpeR.noitceridemasehtnigniwoM .ylralugernoitceridgniwomegnahC.ssappunaelcnoremoorgafoesU .enilthgiartsaniylnodesuebdluohssremoorG10 TROUBLESHOOTING
