To adjust anti-scalp rollers

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.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and Washing
Regular cleaning and washing, especially 
under the mower deck, will increase the 
machine’s lifespan. Make it a habit to clean 
the machine directly after use (after it is 
cooled), before the dirt sticks.
Do not spray water on the top of the mower 
deck. Use compressed air to clean the top 
side of mower deck. Regulary clean deck and 
underside of deck, avoid spraying engine and 
electrical components with water.

Lubricating the Cables
If possible, grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end stop positions when lubricating.

lubricated regularly. If a cable binds, it can disrupt operation.
If a cable binds, remove the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with light engine oil until the oil begins 
to escape from the bottom. 
Tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and...

Checking the oil level
Check the oil level in the engine when the

on the dipstick. If the level is approaching the 
”ADD” mark, fill the oil to the ”FULL” mark on 
the dipstick. 
Never fill above the ”FULL” mark.
