Adjusting the Flow Baffle
Cam Locks
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. Disengage the blade-control switch (PTO), move
the motion-control levers to the N
position, 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.
