CUTTER BLADES
Do not sharpen beyond 1/3 of the width of the blade.
(See Figure 4).
-NOTE-
Dress the blade with a file. Using a wheel
grinder may burn the blade. Check the balance
of the blade. If blades are out of balance, vibra-
tion and premature wear of spindle assembly can
occur. See your authorized Scag dealer for
blade balancing or special tools, if you choose to
balance your own blades.
WARNING:
Blades have a sharp cutting edge. Wear proper
eye protection and protective gloves or wrap
blades with protective material when removing,
sharpening and installing blades.

Custom-Cut Baffle Adjustment
The Custom-Cut Baffle is designed to deliver optimum
airflow and superior cutting performance in any type of
grass. The Custom-Cut Baffle can be raised or lowered
to precisely tailor the deck's performance for the type of
grass being cut. The baffle can be set in three (3)
different positions for optimum performance.
A. 3" Position - baffle is installed using the top set of
holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter
deck. (See Figure 6, Page 12). The Velocity-Plus and
Advantage cutter deck will deliver the best quality-
of-cut in very tall, wiry, tough to cut grass.
B. 3-1/2" Position (factory setting for advantage cutter
decks) - baffle is installed using the middle set of
holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter
deck. (See Figure 7, Page 12). For general purpose
cutting, place the Custom-Cut Baffle in the 3-1/2"
position. This gives the best mix of cutting
performance in all types of grass.
C. 4" Position (factory setting for Velocity-Plus cutter
decks) - baffle is installed using the bottom set of
holes on the front baffle welded inside the cutter
deck. (See Figure 8, Page 12). Placing the baffle in
the 4" setting will enhance fall cutting (leaf pickup)
and reduce cutter deck "blowout".
To Adjust the Custom-Cut Baffle height:
1. Remove the hardware securing the Custom-Cut Baffle
to the cutter deck (See Figure 5).
