Adjusting the Flow-Baffle-Cam
Locks
This procedure is applicable only to machines with the
flow-baffle locks. Certain models have nuts and bolts in place

You can adjust the mower-discharge flow for different types
of mowing conditions. Position the cam locks and baffle to
give the best quality of cut.
1. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), move the
motion-control levers to the N

2. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. To adjust the cam locks, swing the lever up to loosen
the cam lock

too tight, loosen the lever and then rotate the cam lock.

locking pressure.
