Installing the Center Tunnel
Baffle

Important

 

Do not install this baffle when bagging

grass unless blowout is a problem. This baffle is highly
recommended when bagging leaves.

Note: Remove this baffle once the cutting chamber baffle
is installed.

1. Place the center tunnel baffle between the front and

rear tunnel baffles (Fig. 8).

2. Install the center tunnel baffle to the front tunnel

baffle. The flange on the center baffle goes over and
behind the front baffle (Fig. 8).

3. Install the center tunnel baffle to the existing holes in

the front tunnel baffle. Use 2 carriage bolts (5/16 x
5/8 in.) and 2 flange nuts (5/16 in.) (Fig. 8).
