4. Proceed mowing slowly. If grass is very dense,
lower each rear wheel latch one notch lower than
the front wheel latches to improve recycling
performance.
2.7 ADJUSTING FRONT DECK BAFFLE
(Models with an "F" prefix in model number)
(Example: FR215012)
The front of the cutting deck on these models has
been modified with an open area. This allows the
blade to have more direct contact with the grass and
allows more air flow into deck chamber. The
adjustable baffle should be secured in the lowest
position when using a grass bag. The baffle should
be secured in the highest position when mulching
grass.
NOTE: Under certain conditions, when mulching, some
grass may blow out from under front of baffle. This is
normal but, the amount of grass blowing out can be
reduced. Lower baffle slightly to reduce the amount of
grass blow out.
WARNING
DO NOT operate without entire Grass Catcher or
guard in place. Grass Catcher components are
subject to deterioration during normal use. Inspect
frequently and replace worn or damaged components
immediately.
