Adjusting the Skid(s)
Mount the skids in the lower position when operating
in height of cuts higher than 2-1/2 inches (64 mm) and
in the higher position when operating in height of cuts
lower than 2-1/2 inches (64 mm).
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 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. There
are 2 skids on Guardian mowers and 1 skid on
side-discharge mowers (Figure 7).

skid.
5. Move each skid to the desired position and secure
them with the flange-head bolts and nuts.

adjust the skids. The bottom holes are used when
switching sides on a Guardian mower mower, at
which time they become the top holes on the other
side of the mower.

100 in-lb (9 to 11 N-m).
