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 6-5)

2.Turn the control rod (See Figure 6-6) until there is a 1/4" space between the rear deck stop and the top of the cutter deck. (See Figure 6-6). Tighten the jam nuts on the control rod.

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 positon 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 6-5)

-NOTE-

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

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) different positions for optimum performance.

A.3" Position - baffle is installed using the top set of holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. (See Figure 6.8). The Advantage cutter deck will deliver the best quality-of-cut in very tall, wiry, tough to cut grass.

B.3-1/2" Position (factory setting) - baffle is installed using the middle set of holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. (See Figure 6.9). For general purpose cutting, place the Custom-Cut Baffle in the 3-1/2" position. This gives the best mix of cutting performance in all types of grass.

C.4" Position - baffle is installed using the bottom set of holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. (See Figure 6.10). Placing the baffle in the 4" setting will enhance fall cutting (leaf pickup) and reduce cutter deck "blowout".
