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 cannot 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.  
FIGURE 3-3  
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 quick  
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.

(Reference Figure 4-1). Next, mow in opposing  
directions through the remaining property (as shown

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.  
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.

FIGURE 4-1  
"Diagonal or Criss-Cross" pattern:  
This pattern is achieved using the same techniques as  
the "Checkerboard" pattern. Simply apply the stripes in a  
diagonal direction. See Figure 4-3.
