Striping Kit Operation
Refer to Figure 2:
The striping rollers (#4) and rear mower tires press the grass blades down in the direction of travel. Traveling back and forth while cutting the grass alternates the direction the grass is pressed down giving your lawn that striping appearance. It is important to always press the grass down in the same direction from one cutting to the next. This repeated laying down of the grass in the same direction will train the grass to lay in that direction.
NOTE: Don’t expect your grass to make a noticeable change after the first cutting. It will take several cuttings before the lawn starts to take on a pronounced striping effect.
Height Adjustment
Refer to Figure 2:
1. Pull up on lever (#1) and move it forward to the front notch to raise the striping rollers (#4) up above the cut grass. In this position, the rollers will not produce a striping effect.
2. Set deck height to the preferred cutting height.
3. Adjuststr iping rollers (#4)downto pressonthe grass bylifting up on lever(#1)and pulling back until rollers are at a preferred height off the ground. Reset the lever in the notch for this height.
IMPORTANT: The closer the rollers are set to the ground, the more pronounced the striping effect will be. Do not set the rollers so close to the ground that the deck rear is carried by the rollers. Make sure the deck support chains carry the deck.
Float Position
Refer to Figure 2:
The striping rollers (#4) can be set to float on the ground surface by sliding plate (#2) over the notches to prevent handle (#1) from locking into any position.
1. Remove pin (#3) and slide plate (#2) over the notches until they are covered by the plate.
2. Replace pin (#3).
