Counterbalance

The counterbalance system maintains hydraulic
back pressure on the deck lift cylinders. This
counterbalance pressure transfers cutting deck weight
to the mower's drive wheels to improve traction. The
counterbalance pressure has been factory set to an
optimal balance of after-cut appearance and traction
capability in most turf conditions. Decreasing the
counterbalance setting can produce a more stable
cutting deck, but can decrease the traction capability.
Increasing the counterbalance setting can increase
the traction capability, but may result in aftercut
appearance issues.
During different times of the mowing season or when
