Operation
See the decal on the side of the deck lift plate for
cut heights.
5. Move the deck height lever out of the transport
position (or 5 inch (12.7 cm) cutting height) and
down onto the height adjustment pin to mow at
selected height.
Note:
The foot operated deck lift assist lever
can be used to momentarily lift the deck to clear
objects. Be sure that PTO is disengaged.
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 mounting
hardware.
6. Place the rollers in one of the positions shown
(Figure 11). Rollers will maintain 3/4 inch (19
mm) clearance to the ground to minimize gouging
and roller wear or damage.
Figure 11
For cutting heights above 4.0 inches (102 mm) use the
bottom hole. The rollers will still be effective against
scalping.
