Anti-Scalp Rollers

Refer to Figure 3-10:
On the front of the mower deck are four anti-scalp
rollers (#6). Their purpose is to minimize scalping the
ground when mowing on rough uneven terrain. Their
height should be adjusted after setting the deck stop to
the preferred cutting height.
1. Position mower and deck on a flat level surface.
2. Set deck to the preferred mowing height. (Refer to
"Cutting Height Settings" on this page.)
3. Remove 1/2" hex nylock jam nuts (#4) from all four
anti-scalp rollers (#6).
4. Reposition anti-scalp rollers up or down in the roller
mounting notches (A) with carriage bolts (#2 & #3) as
shown. See important note below.
IMPORTANT: The anti-scalp rollers will extend
below blade cutting height the distance shown below
when mounted in the following holes:
•
1/4" below if mounted in the top notches.
•
3/4" below if mounted in the 2nd notches.
•
1 1/4" below if mounted in the 3rd notches.
•
1 3/4" below if mounted in the bottom notches.
For protection of the deck and blades, it is best if the
rollers are mounted in the lowest possible notches
without rollers touching the ground.
For example:
If deck cutting height is set at 1", the rollers should be
mounted to the 2nd notches down from the top.
5. Secure anti-scalp rollers to the mounting brackets
with flat washers (#5) and 1/2"-13 hex nylock
nuts (#4). Tighten nuts to the correct torque.

Cutting Height Settings
Refer to Figure 3-8:
Cutting height is adjustable from 1.5" to 4.5" in 1/4"
increments. The holes in the deck height gauge bar (#4)
are spaced at 1/2" intervals. By turning the deck stop (#1)
around, 1/4" increments can be attained due to the 1/4"
plate thickness that is part of the stop.
EXAMPLES:
1. When deck stop (#1) is placed in one of the holes
with the 1/4" plate facing forward, the cutting height
will be the same as indicated on the deck height
indicator:
1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3, 3 1/2, 4 or 4 1/2" (transport
position).
2. When deck stop (#1) is placed in one of the holes,
with the 1/4" plate facing rearward (against stop
handle (#2), the cutting height will be 1/4" more than
the deck height indicator:
1 3/4, 2 1/4, 2 3/4, 3 1/4, 3 3/4, 4 1/4" or
4 1/2" (Transport Position).
The notch located at the rear of the deck height gauge
bar (#4) is used when placing the deck in transport
position.
