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.
NOTE: There are four anti-scalp rollers on
the outside of the mower deck and four anti-
scalp rollers on the inside of the mower deck.
Make sure all anti-scalp rollers are 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.
• Adjust the eye-bolt to decrease the
length of the mechanical lift spring
which will increase the amount of force
required to lift the mower deck.
