Adjusting the Skids

Adjusting the Inner Skids
Mount the inner skids in the lower position when
operating at heights of cut greater than 51 mm (2
inches) and in the higher position when operating at
heights of cut lower than 51 mm (2 inches).
Adjust the inner skids
Important:
Torque the screw at the front of each
inner skid to 9 to 11 N·m (80 to 100 in-lb).
Adjusting the Outer Skids
Mount the outer skids in the lower position when
operating at heights of cut greater than 51 mm (2
inches) and in the higher position when operating at
heights of cut lower than 51 mm (2 inches).
Note:
When the outer skids become worn, you can
switch them to the opposite sides of the mower by
flipping them over. This allows you to use the outer
skids longer before replacing them.
