Adjusting The Lift-Arm Counterbalance; Adjusting The Lift-Arm Turnaround Position - Toro Reelmaster 5010-H Operator's Manual

Note:
When operating on rough terrain
decrease the spring length by 13 mm (1/2 inch).
Ground following will be slightly decreased.
Note:
The turf compensation setting will
need to be reset if the HOC setting or the
Aggressiveness of Cut setting is changed.

Rear Cutting Units
CAUTION
The springs are under tension and could
cause personal injury.
Use caution when adjusting the springs.
You can adjust the amount of counterbalance force
applied to the rear cutting-units to help compensate
for different turf conditions, and to maintain a uniform
height of cut in rough conditions or in areas of thatch
buildup.
You adjust counterbalance force of each torsion
spring to 1 of 4 settings. Each increment increases or
decreases the counterbalance force on the cutting
unit by 2.3 kg (5 lb). You can position the springs at
the back side of the first spring actuator to remove all
counterbalance (fourth position).
Note:
To remove all counterbalance force, position
the long leg of the torsion spring above the shouldered
stud.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, shut off the engine, engage the
parking brake, and remove the key.
2. Insert the long end of the counterbalance spring
into a tube or similar object, and pivot the spring
around the shouldered stud to the desired
position (Figure
