Adjusting the Skids
The skids should be mounted in the lower position
when operating at heights of cut greater than 64
mm (2-1/2 inches) and in the higher position when
operating at heights of cut lower than 64 mm (2-1/2
inches).
Note:
When the skids become worn, you can switch
the skid to the opposite sides of the mower, flipping
them over. This will allow you to use the skids longer
before replacing them.
Note:
Torque the screw at the front of each skid to 9
to 11 N⋅m (80 to 100 in-lb).
