position.
2. Place the steering control levers in the
park position.
3. Set the anti-scalp adjustment to desired
height of cut.
4. To adjust the anti-scalp rollers, remove
the 1/2-13 x 5" bolts and reinstall the
bolts in the appropriate hole for the
desired height of cut (see figure 13).
5. Depress the deck lift lever and pull back

lower the deck into the cut position.
NOTE: The anti-scalp wheels should always

from scalping the ground in uneven terrain,
they are not to contact the ground all of the
time.

Side-Discharge Mowers
DANGER: Without the discharge
shield or a complete grass
collector installed, you and others
are exposed to rotating mower
blades and thrown debris.
Contact with the mower blades or
flying debris could cause severe
injury or death.
The discharge deflector routes
material down toward the ground.
Never remove the discharge
shield or operate the mower with
a damaged discharge deflector.
Never put your hands or feet
under the mower.
Do not try to clear the mower
discharge area or mower blades
without first turning the mower
PTO to off, turning the ignition key
to off, removing the key and
disconnecting the battery cable.
The mower has a pinned discharge shield
that discharges the clippings out of the side of
the deck and onto the ground.
