TO OPERATE MOWER
Your mower is equipped with an operator
presence system. When the engine is running,
any attempt by the operator to leave the seat
without first setting the park brake will shut off
the engine.
• Select desired height of cut.
• Start deck blades by pulling the PTO
switch up into the engaged position.
• To stop the deck blades, press down on
the PTO Switch into the disengaged
position.
WARNING
Do not operate the deck without either
the entire grass catcher, mulch kit or dis-
charge chute installed.
OPERATION
TO OPERATE ON HILLS

Do not drive up or down hills with slopes
greater than 10 degrees. And do not drive
across any slopes.

ROLLER
TO ADJUST ANTI-SCALP
ROLLERS (See Figure 6)
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.
NOTE: Adjust Anti-scalp rollers with the mower
on a flat level surface.
• Adjust the deck to the desired cutting
height (see “TO ADJUST DECK
CUTTING HEIGHT” in the operation
section of this manual).
FIGURE 5
• 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.
IMPORTANT: THE ANTI-SCALP ROLLERS
MUST NOT BE USED FOR GAUGE WHEELS
OR THE ROLLER AND DECK MAY BE
DAMAGED.
