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 6-8). For very tall, wiry or tough-to-cut grass.

B.4" (factory setting), 4-1/4" or 4-1/2" Position - (See Figure 6-8). 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 6-8). 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 -

3.Move the Custom-Cut Baffle to desired position. (See Figures 6-8).

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