MAINTENANCE

Anti-scalp rollers

Anti-scalp rollers are properly adjusted when they are just slightly off of the ground when the deck is at the desired cutting height in the operating position. Anti- scalp rollers then keep the deck in the proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Adjust anti-scalp rollers with the mower on a flat level surface.

Anti-scalp rollers can be set in three positions:

Upper position 1 to 2½" (25 to 63 mm) grass.

Middle position 2½" to 4" (63 to 102 mm) grass.

Lower position 4" to 5" (102 to 127 mm) grass.

The rollers should be approximately ¼" (6.5 mm) from ground. Do not adjust the rollers to support the deck.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

To avoid deck damage, the anti-scalp rollers must not be adjusted to support the deck.
