- NOTE -
To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four (4)
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 re-adjust the cutter deck as outlined
in the procedures above. All measurements should be
taken from the top edge of the deck as the deck has 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. Check the cutter deck cutting height by placing
the lanyard pin in the 4-1/2" position on the cutting
height index. Release the deck from the transport
position and allow the deck to move to the 4-1/2"
cutting height position.
2. Check the measurement from the floor to the cutter
blade tip. If the measurement is not at 4-1/2", an
adjustment can be made using the deck height
control rod.
3. Loosen the jam nuts on both ends of the deck height
control rod. See Figure 6-7.

4. Turn the control rod (See Figure 6-7) until the
measurement from the floor to the cutter blade tip is
at 4-1/2". Tighten the jam nuts on the control rod.
- NOTE -
If an adjustment had to be made, be sure that the
cutter deck can easily be locked into the transport
position.

6.8 CUSTOM-CUT BAFFLE ADJUSTMENT
(EXCLUDES REAR DISCHARGE)
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.
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.
