MAINTENANCE adjustable wrench, turn the nuts on the front suspension linkage. Clockwise raises the front of the mower, counter clockwise will lower the front. Adjust nuts until rear of mower deck is positioned level to 1/8" (3,175 mm) higher in the rear than the side-to-side measurement. Cleaning Regular cleaning, especially under the mower deck, will increase the machine's life-span. Clean the machine directly after use (after it is cooled), before the debris sticks. Do not spray water on the top of the mower deck. Use compressed air to clean the top side of the mower deck. Do not use a high pressure washer or steam cleaner. Avoid spraying engine and electrical components with water. Regularly clean the underside of the deck with normal water pressure. Attach the quick connect (from the accessory packet) to a garden hose. After mowing, snap the hose to the cleanout port and turn on water supply. NOTE: This will position the mower deck in a standard measurement position. Depending on the type of grass being mowed or environmental conditions, additional adjustments may be required to get the desired cut. Anti-scalp Rollers Anti-scalp rollers are correctly adjusted when they are slightly off of the ground when the deck is at the desired cutting height in the operating position. Anti-scalp rollers keep the deck in the proper position to help prevent scalping in most terrain conditions. Restart the mower and engage the blades to use the spinning action to wash away debris. Make sure the hose is away from the mower blades. Do not rinse hot surfaces with cold water. Let unit cool before washing. CAUTION! Wear eye protection when cleaning or washing the mower. Hardware Check daily. Inspect the entire machine for loose or missing hardware. The anti-scalp rollers have three positions: • Upper 1-1/2" to 2-1/2" grass • Middle 2-1/2" to 4" grass • Lower 4" to 6" grass. The rollers must be approximately 1/4" from the ground. 25
