Adjusting the Skids
The skids should be mounted in the lower position when
operating at heights of cut greater than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches)
and in the higher position when operating at heights of cut
lower than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches).
Note:
When the skids become worn, you can switch the skid
to the opposite sides of the mower, flipping them over. This
will allow you to use the skids longer before replacing them.
