Adjusting the Skid(s)

For Machines with Rear Discharge
Mount the skids in the lower position when operating
in height of cuts higher than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches) and
in the higher position when operating in height of cuts
lower than 64 mm (2-1/2 inches).
Note:
When the skids become worn, switch the skid
to the opposite sides of the mower, flipping them
over. This allows you to use the skids longer before
replacing them.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch, and engage the parking
brake.
2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3. Remove the carriage bolts and nuts from each
skid (Figure 36).

4. Move each skid to the desired position and
secure them with the carriage bolts and nuts.
Note:
Only use the top or center sets of holes
to adjust the skids. The bottom holes are used
when switching sides on the mower deck, at
which time they become the top holes on the
other side of the mower.
5. To prevent damaging the skid, torque the
carriage bolts and nuts for each skid to 12.4 to
14.7 N∙m (110 to 130 in-lb).
