MAINTENANCE

Anti-scalp Rollers

Anti-scalp rollers keep the deck in the proper
position to help prevent scalping in most terrain
conditions. Do not adjust the rollers to support the
deck.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION Adjust anti-scalp
rollers with the mower on a flat level surface.
To avoid deck damage, the anti-scalp rollers
must not be adjusted to support the deck.
Anti-scalp rollers can be set in three positions.
• Upper position 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" grass
• Middle position 2-1/2" to 4" grass
• Lower position 4" to 5" grass
The rollers must be approximately 1/4" from
ground. Do not adjust the rollers to support the
deck.

Spark Arrestor

Clean the interior screen regularly, depending on
usage and conditions.
To clean, remove the clamp securing the tail pipe.
Remove the tail pipe and slide the spark arrestor
screen out of the muffler. Clean carbon from the
screen with a soft brush or cloth.
Replace screen and reattach the tail pipe,
orienting the tail pipe either horizontally or
upwards, away from grassy surfaces.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning and washing, especially under
the mower deck, will increase the machine's life-
span. Make it a habit to clean the machine directly
after use (after it is cooled), before the dirt sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck.
Use compressed air to clean the top side of
mower deck. Regularly clean deck and underside
of the deck with normal water pressure. Do not
use a high pressure washer or steam cleaner.
Avoid spraying engine and electrical components
with water.
Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit
cool before washing.
CAUTION! Always wear eye
protection when cleaning and
washing.
Hardware
Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose
or missing hardware.
