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" tall, cut it to 4"). 24 Section 5- Operation

Table Notes:
This table is a general outline of suggested settings, mowing conditions may vary.
Front Skirts:
When the front skirt is set to “low” the grass lift is increased for precision cutting. When the skirt is set to “high” the grass
can “rebound” and higher volumes of grass can be cut.
Inner Baffle:
The inner baffle regulates grass discharge. Remove the inner baffle for high-volume grass and install the inner baffle for
precision cutting.
Discharge Baffle:
The discharge baffle enhances the grass discharge pattern. The discharge baffle reduces clumping and should be
removed for mulching.
Gauge Wheels:
The gauge wheels reduce scalping, help with precison cutting and reduce turf defacement during turns.
Rear Rollers:
The rear rollers reduce scalping and gives grass a striped appearance.
Cutting Blades:
The cutting blades cut grass, create grass lift and discharge grass through the discharge chute.
Discharge Chute:
The discharge chute controls the mower deck discharge and enhances the discharge pattern
NOTE:
To avoid damaging grass, no more than ³⁄· of the grass height should be removed during a single cutting (i.e. if the grass is 6”
tall, cut it to 4”).
