Section 6

- NOTE -

To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four

(4)cutter deck hanging chains must have tension on them. If all four chains do not have tension on them and the deck teeters, you must readjust the cutter deck as outlined in the procedures above. All measurements should be taken from the top edge of the deck as the Velocity Plus decks have an uneven bottom edge.

Cutter Deck Height

The cutter deck height adjustment is made to ensure that the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on the cutting height index gauge.To check for proper deck height, be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the tires are properly inflated.

1.Place the cutter deck in the transport position. Loosen the jam nuts on both ends of the deck height control rod. See Figure 6-7.

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 6-7.

- NOTE -

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

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.
