4. Adjust the anti-scalp rollers and skids as required.
Adjusting the Skid(s)
Mount the skids in the lower position when operating in
height of cuts higher than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches) and in the
higher position when operating in height of cuts lower than
64 mm (2-1/2 inches).
Note: On Guardian
®
mowers, when the skids become worn,
you can switch the skid to the opposite sides of the mower,
flipping them over. This will allow you to use the skids longer
before replacing them.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers to
the neutral locked position, and set the parking brake.
2. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position, stop the
engine, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to
stop before leaving the operating position.
3. Loosen the screw at the front of each skid (2 skids on
Guardian decks and 1 skid on side-discharge decks).
1. Screw
2. Flange-head bolt
4. Remove the flange-head bolts and nuts from each skid.
5. Move each skid to the desired position and secure them
with the flange-head bolts and nuts.
Note: Only use the top or center sets of holes to adjust
the skids. The bottom holes are used when switching
sides on a Guardian mower deck, at which time they
become the top holes on the other side of the mower.
6. Torque the screw at the front of each skid to 9 to 11
N-m (80 to 100 in-lb).
Adjusting the Rear Anti-Scalp
Rollers
Whenever you change the height-of-cut, adjust the height
of the rear anti-scalp rollers.

3. After adjusting the height-of-cut, adjust the rollers by
removing the flange nut, bushing, spacer, and bolt
(Figure 24).

1. 38 mm (1-1/2 inches)
2. 51 mm (2 inches)
5. Install the flange nut bushing, spacer, and bolt. Torque
