CUSTOM-CUT BAFFLE ADJUSTMENT

The Custom-Cut Baffle is designed to deliver optimum
airflow and superior cutting performance in any type of
grass. The Custom-Cut Baffle can be raised or lowered
to precisely tailor the deck's performance for the type of
grass being cut. The baffle can be set in seven (7) different
positions for optimum performance.
A. 3-1/2" or 3-3/4" Position - (See Figure 6-8). For very
tall, wiry or tough-to-cut grass.
CONTROL ROD
B. 4" (factory setting), 4-1/4" or 4-1/2" Position - (See
Figure 6-8). For general purpose cutting. This gives the
best mix of cutting performance in all types of grass.
C. 4-3/4" or 5-1/4" Position - (See Figure 6-8). Placing
the baffle in either the 4-3/4" or 5-1/4" setting will
enhance fall cutting (leaf pickup) and reduce cutter
deck "blowout".
To adjust the Custom-Cut Baffle height:
1. Place the cutter deck in the transport position.
2. Remove the hardware securing the Custom-Cut
Baffle to the cutter deck.
Hardware location used in the illustrations are for
reference only. Location of hardware may vary
depending on cutter deck size.
3. Move the Custom-Cut Baffle to desired position. See
Figure 6-8.
4. Reinstall the mounting hardware. Torque hardware to
39 ft-lbs.
