MAINTENANCE
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.
Adjust the deck to the desired cutting height (see “TO
ADJUST DECK CUTTING HEIGHT” in the operation
section of this manual).
Using a
3
/4" wrench and a
9
/16" wrench, remove the nut
and shoulder bolt from the anti-scalp roller.
Lower the anti-scalp roller to the ground, and raise it up
to the next highest hole.
Replace and tighten the nut and shoulder bolt.
Be sure to adjust all of the anti-scalp rollers to the
same position.
Be sure to readjust the anti-scalp rollers if the cutting
height is changed.
3. Turn both outer blades to align with the deck in
front-to-rear manner. Reposition rear mounting
bolts up or down until rear of mower deck is
positioned level to
1
/8" higher in the rear than
the side-to-side measurement.
4. Comfirm measurements once again. Blade tips
should be level in a side-to-side manner. In the
rear, blade tips should be level to
1
/8" higher
than side-to-side measurement. In the fron,
blade tips should be level to
1
/8" lower than
side-to-side measurement.
NOTE: This will place the mower deck in a base
measurement position. Additional adjustment may be
required to achieve desired cut for the type of grass or
conditions being mowed.
