Adjusting the Flow Baffle
Cam Locks
For Machines with Side Discharge
This procedure is applicable only to machines with the
flow-baffle locks. Certain models have nuts and bolts
in place of the flow-baffle locks and can be adjusted
the same.
You can adjust the mower-discharge flow for different
types of mowing conditions. Position the cam locks
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.
To adjust the cam locks, swing the lever up to
loosen the cam lock
4.
Adjust the baffle and cam locks in the slots to
the desired discharge flow.
5.
Swing the lever back over to tighten the baffle
and cam locks
(Figure
6.
If the cam locks do not lock the baffle into place
or it is too tight, loosen the lever and then rotate
the cam lock.
Note:
Adjust the cam lock until the desired
locking pressure is achieved.

Positioning the Flow Baffle
For Machines with Side Discharge
The following figures are only recommendations
for use. 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 up the baffle.
Position A
This is the full 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
