6.Rotate the cutter blade on the right side of the cutter deck. Position the cutter blade so it is facing "front to back" on the machine.

7.Check the measurement from the floor to the cutter blade tip at the front and rear of the right side blade. If the measurement is not at 3", an adjustment must be made using the cutter deck adjustment lever.

Adjust as follows:

A. Loosen the elastic stop nuts securing the deck level links on front of the cutter deck on both sides (See Figure 6-4 and Figure 6-5 for Cutter Deck Adjustment Lever Location).

B.Turn the adjustment bolts on both side either clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the cutter deck until the measurements are equal. Tighten the elastic stop nuts.

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 seven (7) different positions for optimum performance.

A.3-1/2" or 3-3/4" Position - See Figure 6-7. For very tall, wiry or tough-to-cut grass.

B.4" (factory setting), 4-1/4" or 4-1/2" Position - See Figure 6-7. 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 6-7. 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.Park the machine on a flat surface, apply the parking brake, shut off the engine and remove the key.

2.Place the cutter deck in the transport position.

3.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.

4.Move the Custom-Cut Baffle to desired position. See Figures 6-7.

5.Reinstall the mounting hardware. Torque hardware to 39 ft-lbs.
