positioned level to 1/8" higher in the rear than
the side-to-side measurement.
NOTE: This will position the mower deck in a
standard measurement position. Depending on
the type of grass being mowed or environmental
conditions, additional adjustments may be
required to get the desired cut.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning, especially under the mower
deck, will increase the machine’s life-span. Clean
the machine directly after use (after it is cooled),
before the debris sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck.
Use compressed air to clean the top side of the
mower deck. Do not use a high pressure washer
or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and
electrical components with water.
Regularly clean the underside of the deck with
normal water pressure. Attach the quick connect
(from the accessory packet) to a garden hose.
After mowing, snap the hose to the cleanout port
and turn on water supply.
Restart the mower and engage the blades to use
the spinning action to wash away debris. Make
sure the hose is away from the mower blades.
Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit
cool before washing.
CAUTION! Wear eye protection when
cleaning or washing the mower.
Hardware
Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose
or missing hardware.
Anti-scalp Rollers
Anti-scalp rollers are correctly adjusted when
they are slightly off of the ground when the deck
is at the desired cutting height in the operating
position. Anti-scalp rollers keep the deck in the
proper position to help prevent scalping in most
terrain conditions.
The anti-scalp rollers can be set in three
positions:
• Upper 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" (38 mm -63 mm) grass
• Middle 2-1/2" to 4" (63 mm -102 mm) grass
• Lower 4" to 6" (102 mm -152 mm) grass.
The rollers must be approximately 1/4" from the
ground. Do not adjust the rollers to support the
deck.
