Controller (ECU) Information for ClipAce Operation
There are several cutting unit blade configurations available for the Reelmaster 5000/6000 series mowers,
depending on the customers desired H.O.C. range. In order for ClipAce control to function properly, the
controller (ECU) needs two important pieces of information:
Number of blades on the installed cutting units. The number of blades is critical information needed
to determine the desired reel RPM vs. MPH to match clip rate. This information is programmed into the
controller during set-up of the machine at the Distributor.
What the Height of Cut (H.O.C.) setting is of the installed cutting units. This information is critical for
the controller to be able to match the clip rate (reel RPM) to the traction forward speed. This information
is provided to the controller electrically by rotating the H.O.C. Selection Knob (located inside the
operators control console) to the desired setting. Each machine is equipped with a H.O.C. selection chart
located under the Seat platform.
Reel Control Lamp Operation (ClipAce Function)
The red Reel Control Lamp (on the steering tower or operator's console) serves as a visual aid to tell the
operator if the unit is operating within the control of the ClipAce function. The Lamp will be illuminated if
traction speed is too slow or too fast to allow the desired clip. For example, if the traction speed is zero,
the reels will still run at the minimum speed of approximately 500 RPM, which will result in a clip smaller
than desired and cause the Reel Control Lamp to illuminate. The speeds at which the Lamp turns on and
off are determined by the cutting unit blade configuration, selected H.O.C knob position, and model of
traction unit.
If the Reel Control Lamp illuminates:
1. The machine is being operated at a traction speed too slow to allow the desired clip. Increase traction
speed until the lamp turns off.
2. The machine is being operated at a traction speed too fast to allow the desired clip. Reduce traction
speed until the lamp turns off.
3. A foreign object, is restricting reel rotation.
If changing traction speed or removing the foreign object does not cause the lamp to go off, and the Reel
Control Lamp remains illuminated regardless of traction speed, then the machine may have a malfunction
(see Diagnostic Lamps for more information).
Note: See the Operator's Manual for information about a specific Toro model.
