4.
Move each skid to the desired position and
secure them with the carriage bolts and nuts.
Note:
Only use the top or center sets of holes
to adjust the skids. The bottom holes are used
when switching sides on the mower deck, at
which time they become the top holes on the
other side of the mower.
5.
To prevent damaging the skid, torque the
carriage bolts and nuts for each skid to 12.4 to
14.7 N∙m (110 to 130 in-lb).
Adjusting the Flow Baffle
Knob
For Machines with Side Discharge
This procedure applies only to machines with the
flow baffle knob. Certain models have nuts and bolts
instead of the flow baffle knob that you can adjust the
same way.
You can adjust the mower discharge flow for different
types of mowing conditions. Position the knob and
baffle to give the best quality of cut.
1.
Park the machine on a level surface, disengage
the blade-control switch, and engage the parking
brake.
2.
Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait
for all moving parts to stop before leaving the
operating position.
3.
Loosen the knob.
4.
Slide the knob to the desired position.
5.
Tighten the knob.

Positioning the Flow Baffle
For Machines with Side Discharge
The following figures are recommendations only.
Adjustments vary by grass type, moisture content,
and the height of the grass.
Note:
If the engine power draws down and the
mower ground speed is the same, open the baffle.
Position A
This is the fully-rear position. The suggested use for
this position is as follows:
•
Short, light grass mowing conditions
•
Dry conditions
•
Smaller grass clippings
•
Propels grass clippings farther away from the
mower
