CUSTOM-CUT BAFFLE ADJUSTMENT
6.7
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.
3-POSITION CUSTOM-CUT BAFFLE
ADJUSTMENT
A. 3" Position - (See Figure 6-10). Baffle is installed
using the top set of holes on the front baffle welded
inside the cutter deck. In this position the Velocity-Plus
cutter deck will deliver the best quality-of-cut in very
tall, wiry, tough to cut grass.
B. 3-1/2" Position - (See Figure 6-10). Baffle is
installed using the middle set of holes on the front baffle
welded inside the cutter deck. Can be used for general
purpose cutting. Placing the Custom-Cut Baffle in the
3-1/2" position gives a good mix of cutting performance
in all types of grass.
C. 4" Position (factory setting) - (See Figure 6-10).
Baffle is installed using the bottom set of holes on the
front baffle welded inside the cutter deck. 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:
Place the cutter deck in the transport position.

7-POSITION CUSTOM-CUT BAFFLE
ADJUSTMENT
A. 3-1/2" or 3-3/4" Position - (See Figure 6-11). For
very tall, wiry or tough-to-cut grass.
B. 4" (factory setting), 4-1/4" or 4-1/2" Position - (See
Figure 6-11). 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 6-11).
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".
