Raise the cutting height of the mower if the cutting width of the mower is wider than the previous mower.
This ensures that uneven turf is not cut too short.
Raise the cutting height of the mower if the grass if slightly taller than normal or if it contains a high degree
of moisture. Then mow it again with the cutting height set lower.
WARNING:
Never direct discharge of material from mower deck towards bystanders. Do not operate the
mower without the discharge chute (with side discharge models).
MGUPN067: Keep the chute down on the deck to prevent
flying objects from injuring or hitting people.
Deck cutting height adjustment
Deck height is adjustable from 1.5 ” - 5.5 ” in. Simply push deck height button on the right control panel up or
down in ¼” increments to adjust level of mowing. Deck height display (on right side of control panel) shows
number in inches at which the operator is mowing. Deck can also be raised quickly while mowing is in
progress to avoid stumps, rocks or another obstacle that can damage mower deck by using foot pedal on
front foot rest. When lowering deck with foot pedal, deck will not go below previously selected height.

Anti-scalp wheels
Anti-scalp wheel kits are standard on Mean Green Mower units. These anti-scalp wheels are designed to
minimize scalping when mowing on rough uneven terrain. After setting the cutting height, adjust the anti-
scalp wheels so they extend below the deck but
do not contact the ground. They should always be at least
1/4” to 3/4” below the deck. With the unit sitting on a flat level surface, the wheel position can be adjusted
up or down as needed from 3/4 ” to 1 -3/ 4” below the blade surface. Move the wheels up or d own, in 1/2”
increments, using the different axle mount holes in the wheel mount bracket.
