Cutting height and anti-scalp roller adjustment.
• • • •

ANTI-SCALP ROLLER BOLT INSTALLATION
ANTI-SCALP ROLLER AND CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
b) Adjust anti-scalp rollers for Normal Operating Conditions.
Stop engine. Place rollers in one of the positions shown
in Fig 14. Rollers will maintain 3/4 in. (19 mm) clearance
to the ground to minimize gouging and roller wear or damage.
For Maximum Deck Flotation , place rollers one hole position
lower. Rollers should maintain 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) minimum
clearance to ground. Do Not adjust rollers to support the
deck. Be sure roller bolts and nuts are installed with the
spring disc washer between head of bolt and mounting bracket.
Torque to 40-45 ft-lbs., or loss of roller may result .
c) When operating in extremely rough conditions it may be
necessary to position the anti-scalp rollers one or two
holes higher than described in "b" to prevent damage to
the rollers and/or bolt failure(See Figure 14).
NOTE: When anti-scalp rollers are placed in these
positions, reduced deck flotation will result.
Blade engagement Linkage:
engagement lever on the left handle and the left rear
corner of the engine deck.
a) Stop engine and remove spark plug wire(s).
b) With blade drive engaged, adjust the linkage length by
loosening the locknut on the turnbuckle and adjusting
the turnbuckle so that the bolt on the bellcrank and the
indicator arm align with each other within 1/16".
Figure 15. Tighten locknut against turnbuckle.
