Adjusting the Anti-Scalp
Rollers
Whenever you change the height of cut, 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. Park the machine on a level surface and
disengage the blade-control switch.
2. Ensure that the parking brake is engaged, shut
off the engine, remove the key from the key
switch, and wait for all moving parts to stop
before leaving the operating position.
3. Adjust the anti-scalp rollers to 1 of the following
positions:

Operating Tips

Using the Fast Throttle Setting
For best mowing and maximum air circulation, operate
the engine at the F
thoroughly cut grass clippings, so do not set the
g028025
height-of-cut so low as to totally surround the mower
in uncut grass. Always try to have 1 side of the mower
free from uncut grass, which allows air to be drawn
into the mower.
Cutting a Lawn for the First Time
Cut grass slightly longer than normal to ensure that
the cutting height of the mower does not scalp any
uneven ground. However, the cutting height used in
the past is generally the best to use. When cutting
grass longer than 15 cm (6 inches) tall, you may want
to cut the lawn twice to ensure an acceptable quality
of cut.
Cutting a Third of the Grass Blade
It is best to cut only about a third of the grass blade.
Cutting more than that is not recommended unless
grass is sparse, or it is late fall when grass grows
more slowly.
