Unit Adjustments
No Parts Required
Procedure
The factory sets the tractor appropriately for
most fairway mowing applications. Several
adjustments for fine-tuning the machine
for particular applications are included in
Cutting Unit Maintenance, page 48, as follows:
• Adjusting the turf compensation spring
Adjusts the amount of fore and aft rotation
available, the amount of ground clearance in
transport, and transfers the weight from the
front to rear roller, reducing bobbing (a wave
pattern in the turf).
• Adjusting the cutting unit lowering rate
Adjusts the speed at which the cutting units
lower.
