Anti-scalp rollers
Anti-scalp rollers are properly adjusted when they are
just slightly off of the ground when the deck is at the
desired cutting height in the operating position. Anti-
scalp rollers then keep the deck in the proper position
to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Adjust anti-scalp rollers with the mower on a
flat level surface.
The anti-scalp rollers can be set in three positions:
•
Upper position 1½ to 2½" (38 to 64 mm) grass
•
Middle position 2½" to 4" (64 to 102 mm) grass
•
Lower position 4" to 6" (102 to 128 mm) grass.
The rollers should be approximately ¼" (6.5 mm) from
ground. Do not adjust the rollers to support the deck.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
To avoid deck damage, the anti-scalp rollers
must not be adjusted to support the deck.
