4.1 LAWN STRIPING
HOW DOES LAWN STRIPING WORK?
The “stripe” that you see on the lawn is actually light
reflecting off the blades of grass. The direction in
which the grass is bent determines the “light” or
“dark” stripe. When the blades of grass are bent
away from you, the grass appears lighter in color
because light is reflecting off of the length of the
blade. When the blades of grass are bent towards
you, the stripe appears darker as you are looking at
more of the tips of the blades (a smaller reflective
surface) and the shadows under the blades of grass.
Cutting a lawn in the up/down, north/south, east/
west, opposing directions provides the best stripe
effect.

The Tiger Striper can not be installed on an
STC with a serial number below 7630001.

You may find that certain grasses have a more
noticeable stripe (stripe easier) than others. Cutting
the grass at a different height can sometimes change
the intensity of the stripe. A slightly higher cut
(example: 3" versus 2.5") can provide more grass to
be bent over, thus producing a more noticeable
stripe. In some types of grass, this may have the
opposite or no effect.

Grass that tends to be "stiff" and resists bending will
not yield a stripe as well as a softer grass that bends
easily.

Note that you do not need to cut the grass in order to
stripe it. The roller simply needs to be in the
unlocked/engaged position. You may find that when
creating more advanced, overlapping striping

patterns, you can complete the job faster by applying
the overlaying stripes without the blades engaged.
5. Install the Tiger Striper roller assembly to the
mounting brackets and secure with the ring pins.
Striping can be used to draw attention to particular
landscape features. It can be used to further
enhance the finished, manicured cut that your Scag
mower delivers.
6. Once the Tiger Striper roller assembly is installed
and secure, tighten the mounting hardware on
both mounting brackets.
7. Follow Section 2.2 Operating Instruction for
proper operation.

"Checkerboard" pattern:
LAWN STRIPING GUIDELINES
A stripe pattern can add richness and depth to any
lawn. Here are some guidelines to help produce
various patterns and to enhance your striping
techniques.
Begin by mowing the perimeter around the property
(Reference Figure 4-1). Next, mow in opposing
directions (North and South or East and West)
through the remaining portion of the property (as
shown in Figure 4-1). Take care when turning at the
end of each row to prevent turf damage. A simple
"Y" type turn at the end of each row will reduce the
chance of turf damage while setting the mower up
for the next row to be mowed.

type turn at the end of each row will reduce the
chance of turf damage while setting the mower up
for the next row to be mowed.
Now, travel in the opposite direction of the original
mowing pattern (if you were mowing North and
South, now mow East and West, etc). Reference
Figure 4-2.
Finish the job by mowing the perimeter again. This
will remove any stripe pattern irregularities left from
turning at the end of each row and delivers a finished
look.

"Diagonal or Criss-Cross" pattern:
This pattern is acheived using the same techniques as
the "Checkerboard" pattern. Simply apply the stripes in a
diagonal direction. See Figure 4-3.
