Adjusting the Anti-scalp
Rollers (for 127 cm (50-inch)
or 137 cm (54-inch) Mower
Decks)
Whenever you change the height of cut, it is
recommended to adjust the height of the anti-scalp
rollers.
Note:
Adjust the anti-scalp rollers so the rollers do
not touch the ground in normal, flat mowing areas.
1. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO) and
ensure that the parking brake is engaged.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Adjust the anti-scalp rollers ( Figure 18 ) to match
the closest height-of-cut position.
