Cutting Blades
To attain the best mowing effect, it is important that 
the blades are well sharpened and not damaged.
Bent or cracked blades or blades with large nicks 
should be replaced. 
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The sharpening of blades should be carried 
out by an authorized service workshop.
WARNING!
Blades are sharp. Protect your hands 
with gloves and/or wrap blades with 
a heavy cloth when handling.
Damaged blades should be replaced after hitting 
obstacles that result in a breakdown. A service 
workshop should decide whether the blade can be 
repaired/ground or must be replaced. Balance the 
blades after sharpening and check the blade mounts.

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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Adjust anti-scalp rollers with the mower on a 
flat level surface.
The anti-scalp rollers can be set in three positions:
Upper position 1½ to 2½" (38 to 64 mm) grass
• 
Middle position 2½" to 4" (64 to 102 mm) grass
• 
Lower position 4" to 6" (102 to 128 mm) grass.
• 
The rollers should be approximately ¼" (6.5 mm) from 
ground. Do not adjust the rollers to support the deck.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The anti-scalp rollers must not be used for 
gauge wheels or the roller and deck may be 
damaged.
