Custom-Cut Baffle Adjustment - Scag Power Equipment SW Operator's Manual

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 three (3)
different positions for optimum performance.
A. 3" Position - baffle is installed using the top set of
holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter
deck. (See Figure 10). The Velocity-Plus and
Advantage cutter deck will deliver the best quality-
of-cut in very tall, wiry, tough to cut grass.
B. 3-1/2" Position (factory setting for Advantage cutter
decks) - baffle is installed using the middle set of
holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter
deck. (See Figure 11). For general purpose cutting,
place the Custom Cut Baffle in the 3-1/2" position.
This gives the best mix of cutting performance in all
types of grass.
C. 4" Position (factory setting for Velocity-Plus cutter
decks) - baffle is installed using the bottom set of
holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter
deck. (See Figure 12). Placing the baffle in the 4"
setting will enhance fall cutting (leaf pickup) and
reduce cutter deck "blowout".
