Adjusting The Anti-Scalp Rollers; Pushing The Machine By Hand - Toro 74785 Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Anti-scalp
Rollers
Whenever you change the height-of-cut, it is recommended
to adjust the height of the anti-scalp rollers.
Note: Adjust the anti-scalp rollers so the rollers do not touch
the ground in normal, flat mowing areas.
1. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO) and ensure
the parking brake is engaged.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Adjust the anti-scalp rollers to one of the following
positions:
•
Upper hole—use this position with the mower
deck in the 63 mm (2-1/2 inches) and below the
height-of-cut positions
•
Lower hole—use this position with the mower
deck in the 76 mm (3 inches) and above the
height-of-cut positions
