Clip Rate (Reel Speed) - Toro Reelmaster 3100-D Operator's Manual

Clip Rate (Reel Speed)

To achieve a consistent, high quality-of-cut and a uniform after-cut appearance, it is
important that the reel speed be matched to the height-of-cut.
If the reel speed is too slow, you may notice visible clip marks. If the reel speed is too
fast, the cut may have a fuzzy appearance.
