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
80 to 100 in-lb (9 to 11 N⋅m).
Adjusting the Rear Anti-Scalp Rollers
Whenever you change the height-of-cut, adjust the
height of the rear anti-scalp rollers.
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. After adjusting the height-of-cut, adjust the
rollers by removing the flange nut, bushing,
spacer, and bolt (Figure 23).
