Maintenance

ANTI-SCALP DECK CASTERS

The anti-scalp deck casters (A, Figure 27) 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.

WARNING

Be careful when handling the battery. Avoid spilling electrolyte. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery.

When removing or installing battery cables, disconnect the negative cable FIRST and reconnect it LAST. If not done in this order, the positive terminal can be shorted to the frame by a tool.
