MOWER DECKS

Anti-scalp Roller Adjustment

The anti-scalp rollers are set at the factory for typical

mowing height, but can be adjusted for high or low cutting

conditions (Figure 18).

Anti-Scalp rollers are intended to prevent lawn scalping, not

to control cutting height.

For a very high cutting height, set the anti-scalp rollers in the

lowest position on the bracket.

For a very low cutting height, set the anti-scalp rollers in the

highest position on the bracket.

All anti-scalp rollers should be set at the same height.

MOWER LIFT PEDAL ADJUSTMENT

The mower lift pedal can be adjusted to decrease or

increase the amount of force required to lift the mower deck.

NOTE: Decreasing the amount of force required to lift the

mower deck will increase the mower deck’s bouncing.

Increasing the amount of force required to lift the mower

deck will decrease the mower deck’s bouncing.

IMPORTANT: Adjust the mechanical lift spring on each side

of the unit to the same length.

• Adjust the eye-bolt to increase the length of the

mechanical lift spring which will decrease the amount of

force required to lift the mower deck.
