To adjust anti-scalp rollers
Deck has 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.
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 anti-scalp roller.
3. Lower the anti-scalp roller to the ground, and raise
it up to the next highest hole.
4. Replace and tighten the nut and shoulder bolt.
5. Be sure to adjust all of the anti-scalp rollers to the
same position.
6. Be sure to readjust the anti-scalp rollers if the
cutting height is changed.
Cleaning and Washing
Regular cleaning and washing, especially under the
mower deck, will increase the machine’s lifespan.
Make it a habit to clean the machine directly after use
(after it is cooled), before the dirt sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck. Use
compressed air to clean the top side of mower deck.
Regulary clean deck and underside of deck, avoid
spraying engine and electrical components with water.
Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit cool
before washing.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Adjust anti-scalp rollers with the mower
on a flat level surface.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The anti-scalp rollers must not be used
for gauge wheels or the roller and deck
may be damaged.
