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.
To Adjust the Custom-Cut Baffle height:
1. Remove the hardware securing the Custom-Cut
Baffle to the cutter deck (See Figure 8).
A. 3" Position - baffle is installed using the top set of
holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter
deck. (See Figure 9). 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 10). 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 11). Placing the baffle in the 4"
setting will enhance fall cutting (leaf pickup) and
reduce cutter deck "blowout".
