Adjusting the Flow Baffle Cam
Locks
This procedure is applicable only to machines with
the flow baffle locks. Certain models will have nuts
and bolts in-place of the flow baffle locks and can be
adjusted the same.
The mower discharge flow can be adjusted 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 neutral locked
position and set the parking brake.
2. Stop 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 (Figure 31).
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 31).
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. Adjust the cam lock until the desired
locking pressure is achieved.
