Adjusting the Rear Rollers

The rear rollers help prevent the scalping of high spots and uneven terrain across the center section of the deck. The rollers can be adjusted downward or upard 1”. Lowering the roller will increase the striping effect left behind the mower. This positioning of the rear roller will also help to filter the mulched grass clippings into the turf.

NOTE: Roller should not be lowered if the cut height is set at 2-1⁄2” or lower.

Adjusting the Front Skirt

The front skirt can be raised or lowered depending on the mowing conditions. The skirt has three settings; low, medium and high. See the table on page 23 in the Operation section for more information. Raise the skirt to cut higher volumes of grass and lower the skirt to increase grass lift for precision cutting.

1.Loosen — but do not remove — the nuts securing the skirt, place in the proper position and then retighten the nut.

See Fig. 6-11.

2.Repeat on the other side and be sure that both skirts are in the same position.

Removing/Installing the Inner Baffle

The inner flow-control baffle can be removed depending on the mowing conditions. The baffle controls discharge and can be removed for high-volume grasses and installed for precision cutting.

1.Remove the carriage bolts and flange lock nuts that secure the baffle to the deck to mow high-volume grasses. See Fig. 6-12.
