Anti-scalp Rollers
Anti-scalp rollers keep the deck in the proper position
to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions. Do
not adjust the rollers to support the deck.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Adjust anti-scalp rollers with the mower on a
flat level surface.
To avoid deck damage, the anti-scalp rollers
must not be adjusted to support the deck.
The anti-scalp rollers can be set in three positions:
• Upper position 1 to 2½" (25 to 63 mm) grass.
• Middle position 2½" to 4" (63 to 102 mm) grass.
• Lower position 4" to 5" (102 to 127 mm) grass.
