Anti-scalp wheels
Anti-scalp wheel kits are standard on Hustler Mid Mount Z units.
These anti-scalp wheels are designed to minimize scalping when mowing
on rough uneven terrain.
After setting the cutting height, adjust the anti-scalp wheels so they
extend below the deck but do not contact the ground. They should
always be at least 1/4” to 3/4” (6.35MM to 19.05MM) below the deck. With
the unit sitting on a flat level surface, the wheel position can be adjusted up
or down as needed from 3/4” to 1-3/4” (19.05MM to 44.45MM) below the
blade surface. Move the wheels up or down, in 1/2” (12.70MM) increments,
using the different axle mount holes in the wheel mount bracket. Fig. 3-10
When adjusting the rear anti-scalp wheels, the wheel should be in the
same axle mount hole as the front anti-scalp wheels.
