ANTI-SCALP DECK CASTERS
The anti-scalp deck casters (A, Figure 25) will aid in pre-
venting the mower deck from scalping or gouging the
turf while mowing or turning.
The casters can be adjusted in 1/2” (1,3 cm) increments
with the spacers (B). The desired position is just below
the leading edge of the deck.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These casters are not intended to
be in contact with the ground at all times. If you are
mowing at a low cut height, adjust the casters up to pre-
vent the casters from carrying the weight of the deck.
