Anti-scalp Roller Adjustment
The anti-scalp rollers are set at the factory for typical
mowing height, but can be adjusted for high or low cutting
conditions (Figure 18).
Anti-Scalp rollers are intended to prevent lawn scalping, not
to control cutting height.
For a very high cutting height, set the anti-scalp rollers in the
lowest position on the bracket.
For a very low cutting height, set the anti-scalp rollers in the
highest position on the bracket.
All anti-scalp rollers should be set at the same height.
