BLADE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the blade height can be done by moving any number
of the five smaller 1/4" spacers on the blade mounting bolts
to the top of the spindle shaft or below the spindle shaft.
All blades should be positioned equally.
WARNING
Blades have a sharp cutting edge. Wear proper
eye protection and protective gloves or wrap the
blades with protective material when removing,
sharpening and installing blades.
For best cut and discharge, a minimum of three spacers
should be installed between the blade and the spindle. See
Figure 6-9.

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 6-10). For
very tall, wiry or tough-to-cut grass.
B. 4" (factory setting), 4-1/4" or 4-1/2" Position - (See
Figure 6-10). 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 6-10).
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 Figures 6-10).
4. Reinstall the mounting hardware. Torque hardware to
39 ft-lbs.
