Adjusting the Skid(s)

Mount the skids in the lower position when operating
in height of cuts higher than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches) and
in the higher position when operating in height of cuts

Note:
When the skids become worn, switch the skid
to the opposite sides of the mower, flipping them
over. This allows you to use the skids longer before
