Mower Attachment Lift
• Depress thumb pin and move attachment lift
lever to rear for maximum cutting height (4").
Depress thumb pin and move attachment left
lever to forward position for lowest cutting height
(1"). Intermediate positions allow selection of
cutting heights between these values.
Anti-Scalp Rollers (40" Mower Pan)
• Secure rollers in middle position for average lawn
mowing. Use lowest roller position when mowing
in higher cutting heights and rough terrain to
guard against most scalping. Use highest roller
position when cutting at lowest cutting height.
• For smoothest appearing cut when using frame
suspended models with anti-scalp rollers, keep
anti-scalp rollers adjusted to the minimum 1/2"
above flat hard smooth surface after setting
height of cut.
NOTE: The rollers are intended for anti-scalping, not
for controlling cutting height.
Anti-Scalp Rollers (48" Mower Pan)
• There is no adjustment necessary for the rollers
on the 48" pan.

Mower Belt
• The mower belt idler system is designed to
provide constant tension on the belt. To maintain
proper belt tension, the idler spring must be
extended as shown. If the spring is extended
less than 4 1/2", replace the belt on 40" mower.
(See Rotary Mower Belt Replacement Section).
