adjustment
pin
to

g)
Adjust anti-scalp rollers for Normal Operating Conditions. Stop engine and
remove key. Place rollers in one of the positions shown in Fig. 10. Rollers
will maintain 3/4 in. (19 mm) clearance to the ground to minimize gouging
and roller wear or damage.
For Maximum Flotation,
place rollers
one
hole position lower. Rollers should maintain 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) minimum
clearance to ground.
Do Not
adjust rollers to support the deck. Be sure
bolt is tightened properly
or loss of anti-scalp roller may result.

and take all force off of the two large deck lift springs by loosening the nuts
at the front of each spring. See Fig. 11.

Lower the deck to the 1-1/2” (3.81 cm) height position. Force the left rear
deck support arm downward about 1/4” (6.4 mm) to get the deck to rest at
the 1-1/2” (3.81 cm) height position. Place locking pliers between the rear
swivel and spring stop to hold the deck in this position. See Fig. 11.

anti- scalp roller brackets and place one under
one of the front
center
anti-scalp roller brackets.

20-1/4” (51.4 cm).
Adjust the length by turning nuts on either side of the front swivels.

: Adjust so that all four (4) swivels are free in their holes. This may
cause the measurement to vary slightly from side to side.

caster roller brackets). Tighten hardware on the rear chains.
