weight, put a block between the frame and the
scales.
6. To adjust the ground pressure, turn the adjustment
screws found behind the front wheels on the right
and left sides.
7. Turn the screws right or left until the ground pressure
is between 12 and 15 kg (26.5-33 lb).
To do a check of the parallelism of the
cutting deck
