-NOTE-
To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four
cutter deck hanging chains must have tension on
them. If all four chains do not have tension on
them and the deck teeters, you must readjust the
cutter deck as outlined in the procedures above.
All measurements should be taken from the top
edge of the deck as the Velocity Plus decks have
an uneven bottom edge.
Cutter Deck Height
The cutter deck height adjustment is made to ensure that
the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on the
cutting height index gauge. To check for proper deck
height, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface
and the tires are properly inflated.
1. Place the cutter deck in the transport position.
Loosen the jam nuts on both ends of the deck height
control rod. (See Figure 6-6).

2. Turn the control rod (See Figure 6-6) until there is a
1/4" space between the rear deck stop and the top of
the cutter deck. (See Figure 6-7). Tighten the jam
nuts on the control rod.
3. Check the cutter deck cutting height by placing the
lanyard pin in the 3" position on the cutting height
index. Release the deck from the transport positon
and allow the deck to move to the 3" cutting height
position.
4. Check the measurement from the floor to the cutter
blade tip. If the measurement is not at 3", an
adjustment can be made using the deck height
control rod. (See Figure 6-6).
If an adjustment had to be made, be sure that the
cutter deck can easily be locked into the
transport position.
Custom-Cut Baffle Adjustment
STC 2006 CDHA
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 three (3)
different positions for optimum performance.
