The 60" and 72" decks come with three sets of mounting
hardware for each air flow baffle. The middle set of hardware
does not need to be removed when changing the baffle
setting. This is a slot and the hardware only needs to be
loosened enough to allow the baffle to slide. The other
hardware on the ends of the baffles will need to be removed.
After the baffles have been adjusted, re-install and tighten
the outer hardware and tighten the middle hardware.

Anti-Scalp Wheels

Anti-scalp wheels are standard on these mowers. These
anti-scalp wheels are designed to minimize scalping when
mowing on rough uneven terrain. Figure 3-18
Optional rear anti-scalp rollers are available.
These decks can be used with either one center anti-scalp
roller, two side anti-scalp rollers or three rear anti-scalp roll-
ers. Figure 3-18 & Figure 3-20
There are two height adjustment settings for the anti-scalp
wheels/rollers. The upper hole positions the wheels/rollers
25.4 mm below the cutting blades and the lower hole posi-
tions them 50.8 mm below the cutting blades. Figure 3-18 &
Figure 3-19
When the mowing height is set at 25.4 mm to 76.2 mm the
anti-scalp wheels/rollers should be in the upper position.
When the mowing height is set at 82.6 mm to 127 mm the
anti-scalp wheels/rollers should be in the lower position.
