MAINTENANCE
Gauge Wheels
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 roller
The gauge wheels can be set in three positions:
• Upper position 1½ to 3" (38 to 76 mm) grass.
• Middle position 3" to 4½" (76 to 114 mm) grass.
• Lower position 4½" to 6" (114 to 152 mm) grass.
The rollers should be approximately ¼" (6.5 mm) from
ground. Do not adjust the rollers to support the deck.
1. Adjust the deck to the desired cutting height (see
“TO ADJUST DECK CUTTING HEIGHT” in the
operation section of this manual).
2. Using a ¾" wrench and a 9 /
16
" wrench, remove the
nut and shoulder bolt from the gauge wheel.
3. Lower the gauge wheel to the ground, and raise it
up to the next highest hole.
4. Replace and tighten the nut and shoulder bolt.
5. All of the gauge wheels should be adjusted to the
same position.
6. Readjust the gauge wheels if the cutting height is
changed.
