Adjusting the Cutting Height

The cutting height of the mower deck is adjusted

levers outward to the neutral locked position.

Adjusting the Anti-Scalp Rollers

It is recommended to change the anti-scalp roller
position, when the height of cut has changed.
1. Stop the machine and move the motion control

levers outward to the neutral locked position.

2. Disengage the PTO.
3. Engage the park brake.
4. Stop the engine, remove the key and wait for all

moving parts to stop.

5. After adjusting the height of cut, adjust the

anti-scalp rollers by removing the nyloc nut,
bushing, spring disc washer and whizlock nut.

6. Place the rollers in one of the positions shown

(Figure 17). Rollers will maintain 3/4 inch (19
mm) clearance to the ground to minimize gouging
and roller wear or damage.

Figure 17

For cutting heights above 3.5 inches (90 mm) use the

bottom hole. The rollers will still be effective against

scalping.
