5. In certain mowing conditions and terrain, a
mismatch of cutting height may be seen. Adjusting
the outside anti-scalp rollers to the minimum setting
of 3/8 inch (10 mm) will help prevent the mower
deck cutting too low on the outside and minimize
the mismatch.
Adjusting the Flow Baffle
The mower discharge flow can be adjusted for different
types of mowing conditions. Position the cam lock and
baffle to give the best quality of cut.
1. Disengage the PTO, move the motion control levers
to the neutral locked position and set the parking
brake.
2. Stop the engine, remove the key, and wait for all
moving parts to stop before leaving the operating
position.
3. To adjust the baffle, loosen the nut (Figure 18).
4. Adjust the baffle and nut in the slot to the desired
discharge flow and tighten the nut.

Positioning the Flow Baffle
The following figures are only recommendations for
use. Adjustments will vary by grass type, moisture
content, and height of grass.
Note: If the engine power draws down and the mower
ground speed is the same, open up the baffle.
Position A
This is the full rear position (see Figure 19). The
suggested use for this position is a follows.
• Use for short, light grass mowing conditions.
• Use in dry conditions.
• For smaller grass clippings.
• Propels grass clippings farther away from the
mower.
