Notes:

This is a general outline of suggested settings, so keep in mind that your conditions may be different.

Adjustable Front Skirts - When "Low", increases lift for precision cutting. When "High", grass rebounds & can cut high volume grasses.

Removable Inner Flow-Control Baffle - Regulates discharge (remove for high volume grasses, and install for precision cutting).

Removable Discharge Baffle - Enhances the discharge spread pattern. Reduces clumping (it should be removed for mulching).

Adjustable Gauge Wheels - Reduces scalping, helps provide precision cutting, and reduces turf defacement during turns.

Adjustable Rear Rollers - Reduces scalping, and provides the striped appearance.

Cutting Blades - Create lift (axial flow), cutting action, and discharge (centrifugal flow). Low to High lift depending on the sail shape.

Discharge Chute - Controls the output (including thrown objects) and enhances the discharge pattern.

To avoid damage to grasses, no more than 1/3 of the height should be removed at one cutting (if 6" tall, cut to 4").
