A. 3" Position - baffle is installed using the top set of
holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter
deck. (See Figure 15). 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, Advantage Deck) -
baffle is installed using the middle set of holes on the
front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. (See
Figure 16). 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 (factory setting, Velocity Plus Deck) -
baffle is installed using the bottom set of holes on the
front baffle welded inside the cutter deck . (See
Figure 17). 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 14).
