ANTI-SCALP
ROLLER
TO ADJUST ANTI-SCALP
ROLLERS (See Figure 6)
Anti-scalp rollers are properly adjusted when
they are just slightly off of the ground when the
deck is at the desired cutting height in the
operating position. Anti-scalp rollers then keep
the deck in the proper position to help prevent
scalping in most terrain conditions.
NOTE:
Adjust Anti-scalp rollers with the mower
on a flat level surface.
•
Adjust the deck to the desired cutting
height (see “TO ADJUST DECK
CUTTING HEIGHT” in the operation
section of this manual).

Using a 3/4" wrench and a 9/16" wrench,
remove the nut and shoulder bolt from
the anti-scalp roller.
•
Lower the anti-scalp roller to the ground,
and raise it up to the next highest hole.
•
Replace and tighten the nut and shoulder
bolt.
•
Be sure to adjust all of the anti-scalp
rollers to the same position.
•
Be sure to readjust the anti-scalp rollers
if the cutting height is changed.
IMPORTANT:
THE ANTI-SCALP ROLLERS
MUST NOT BE USED FOR GAUGE WHEELS

DAMAGED.
