Table Notes: This table is a general outline of suggested settings, mowing
conditions may vary.
*Inner Baffle (48, 54 and 60 inch Decks Only): The inner baffle (a) regulates
grass discharge. Remove the inner baffle for high-volume grass and install the inner
baffle for precision cutting (Figure 17).
Discharge Baffle: The discharge baffle (b) enhances the grass discharge pattern.
The discharge baffle reduces clumping and should be removed for mulching
(Figure 17).
Cutting Blades: The cutting blades cut grass, create grass lift and discharge grass
through the discharge chute.
**Gauge Wheels (48, 54 and 60 inch Decks Only): The gauge wheels reduce
scalping, help with precision cutting and reduce turf defacement during turns.
Discharge Chute: The discharge chute controls the mower deck discharge and
enhances the discharge pattern.
NOTE: To avoid damaging grass, no more than 1⁄3 of the grass height should be
removed during a single cutting (i.e. if the grass is 6" (15.2 cm) tall, cut it to 4"
(10.2 cm).
