3.Check the cutter deck cutting height by placing the lanyard pin in the 3" position on the cutting height index. Release the deck from the transport position and allow the deck to move to the 3" cutting height position.

4.Check the measurement from the floor to the cutter blade tip. If the measurement is not at 3", an adjustment can be made using the deck height control rod. See Figure 6-6.

- NOTE -

If an adjustment had to be made, be sure that the cutter deck can easily be locked into the transport position.

6.7 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) (early models), or seven (7) (current production) different positions for optimum performance.

3-Position Custom-Cut Baffle Adjustment - eARLY mODELS

A.3" Position - (See Figure 6-8). Baffle is installed using the top set of holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. In this position the Velocity-Plus cutter deck will deliver the best quality-of-cut in very tall, wiry, tough to cut grass.

B.3-1/2" Position - (See Figure 6-8). Baffle is installed using the middle set of holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. Can be used for general purpose cutting. Placing the Custom-Cut Baffle in the 3-1/2" position gives a good mix of cutting performance in all types of grass.

C.4" Position (factory setting) - (See Figure 6-8). Baffle is installed using the bottom set of holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. Placing the baffle in the 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. See Figure 6-8.

- NOTE -

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 Figure 6-8.

4.Reinstall the mounting hardware as shown. Torque hardware to 39 ft/lbs.

7-Position Custom-Cut Baffle Adjustment - cURRENT pRODUCTION

A.3-1/2" or 3-3/4" Position - (See Figure 6-9). For very tall, wiry or tough-to-cut grass.

B.4" (factory setting), 4-1/4" or 4-1/2" Position - (See Figure 6-9). 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 6-9). 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.

- NOTE -

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 Figure 6-9.

Each model is designed to meet the diverse demands of commercial and residential landscaping, providing efficiency, performance, and durability.

The STC52V-23BV and the STC52V-25CV-FR are both equipped with powerful V-twin engines that deliver dependable performance under tough conditions. These engines are designed to provide high torque, enabling users to tackle tougher mowing tasks without sacrificing speed or efficiency. With a cutting deck width of 52 inches, the STC52V models offer excellent maneuverability while providing ample coverage for large lawns.

On the other hand, the STC61V-23BV and STC61V-25CV models feature an impressive 61-inch cutting deck, making them ideal for larger properties. The wider deck allows for more efficient mowing with fewer passes, ultimately saving time and reducing operator fatigue. Both models also boast V-twin engines, ensuring robust performance that can handle dense grass and uneven terrain with ease.

One of the significant characteristics of the STC series is Scag's innovative Velocity Plus cutting deck technology. This unique design enhances airflow beneath the deck, resulting in superior grass cutting and improved discharge. The deck's aerodynamic shape not only ensures a clean cut but also allows for better grass collection in conjunction with optional bagging systems.

Additionally, all STC models are built with operator comfort in mind. Ergonomically designed controls, spacious seating, and intuitive instrument panels enable operators to work efficiently without discomfort during extended periods.
