Anti-Scalping Rolling / Side Skids
The main purpose of the anti-scalping roller is to prevent damage. If a wheel drops into
a hole, or there is uneven ground between the wheels, the roller takes the weight of the
mower, avoiding the flails scalping the ground; combined with the side skids the mower
provides good protection to the rotor. The anti-scalping roller has the added advantage
of-enabling kerb side grass to be cut with no difficulty, by allowing the wheel to hang
over the kerb edge. The factor pre-set position of the anti-scalping roller and side skids
are suitable for most situations. However, if the mover is used in rough conditions or
regularly in heavy crops, the roller and side skids should be lowered, to increase the
clearance between the flail and the ground when the roller comes into use. In
circumstances where the mower is being used as a “Finishing Mower” and a striped
appearance is desired.
TO ADJUST THE ROLLER: Slacken pivot bolt “A”. Slacken and remove bolt “B”
(Repeat for both ends of the roller) Select another hole and Replace bolt “B”. Tighten
bolts “A” and “B” TO ADJUST THE SIDE SKIDS: Remove the bolt at the Front of the
skid and the rear of the skid (show as “C”) Select new setting, replace the bolts and
tighten. Repeat for the opposite skid; always ensure both skids are set to.
