Side Discharging or Mulching
the Grass
This mower has a hinged grass deflector that disperses
clippings to the side and down toward the turf.
DANGER
Without the grass deflector, discharge cover, or
complete grass catcher assembly mounted in
place, you and others are exposed to blade contact
and thrown debris. Contact with rotating mower
blade(s) and thrown debris will cause injury or
death.
• Never remove the grass deflector from the mower
because the grass deflector routes material down
toward the turf. If the grass deflector is ever
damaged, replace it immediately.
• Never put your hands or feet under the mower.
• Never try to clear discharge area or mower
blades unless you release the bail and the power
take off (PTO) is off. Rotate the ignition key to
Off. Also remove the key and pull the wire(s) off
the spark plug(s).
Adjusting the Height-of-Cut
The height-of-cut can be adjusted from 1 to 4-1/2 inches (25
to 114 mm) in 1/4 inch (6 mm) increments. Adjustment is
done by relocating four hairpin cotter pins in different hole
locations and by adding or removing spacers.
Note: All height-of-cut pins need at least one spacer or
damage can occur to the bushing if none are used.
Note: All height-of-cut pins can use two spacers maximum.
1. Select hole in height-of-cut post and number of spacers
corresponding to the height-of-cut desired (Figure 13).
2. Using the lift handle, raise side of deck and remove
hairpin cotter (Figure 13).
3. Add or remove spacers if needed and then align the
holes and insert the hairpin cotter (Figure 13).
Note: Spare height-of-cut spacers may be stored on
posts and retained by a hairpin cotter.
Important: All four hairpin cotter pins must be
in the same hole location and with the correct
number of spacers for a level cut.

Adjusting the Anti-Scalp
Rollers
The anti-scalp rollers need to be adjusted in the proper hole
location for each height-of-cut position. There needs to be
3/8 inch (10 mm) minimum clearance above the ground.
Note: If the anit-scalp rollers are adjusted too low, it can
cause excess wear of the rollers.
1. After adjusting the height-of-cut, check the anti-scalp
rollers so that there is a minimum of 3/8 inch (10 mm)
clearance above the ground (Figure 14, Figure 15,
Figure 16).
2. If adjustment is needed, remove the bolt, washers and
nut (Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 16).
3. Select a hole position so the anti-scalp rollers are
a minimum of 3/8 inch (10 mm) off the ground
(Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 16).
4. Install the bolt and nut (Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 16).
