Adjusting Mower Deck Front Anti-Scalp Wheels

CAUTION: Rotating parts can catch fingers, loose clothing, or long hair. Wait for engine and all moving parts to stop before leaving operator’s station to adjust or service machine.

NOTE: The flattest cut can be achieved by having all anti-scalp wheels adjusted off the ground. Check anti-scalp wheel adjustments each time the mower deck cutting height is changed.

It is recommended that all anti-scalp wheels be kept off the ground to minimize scuffing.

  1. Check machine tire pressure. Inflate tires to the correct pressure. (See Specifications Section for correct tire pressures.)

  2. Adjust mower deck to desired cutting height.
