Maintenance

ANTI-SCALP DECK CASTERS

The anti-scalp deck casters (A, Figure 26) will aid in preventing the mower deck from scalping or gouging the turf while mowing or turning.

The casters can be adjusted in 1/2” (1,3 cm) increments with the spacers (B). The desired position is just below the leading edge of the deck.

IMPORTANT NOTE: These casters are not intended to be in contact with the ground at all times. If you are mowing at a low cut height, adjust the casters up to

prevent the casters from carrying the weight of the deck.
