2. Install the bumper bar with the four bolts provided
(two on each side) to a torque of 15-19 ft-lbs. (Fig. 5)
Assemble the Left Deck
Anti-scalp Wheel
NOTICE: The bottom of the deck anti-scalp wheels should
be positioned approximately 1/8 in. - 1/2 in. off the ground
when the mower is at the desired cutting height. This will
minimize the chance of scalping the lawn in most
situations.
NOTICE: The left and right wheels should be set at the
same positions.
NOTICE: The right wheel has already been assembled in
the factory.
1. Secure the left anti-scalp wheel with the bolt and nut
provided to a torque of 22-26 ft-lbs. (Fig. 6)
