Note: The reel speed can be increased or decreased
to compensate for turf conditions. When using
baskets, increase the reel speed to improve collection
performance.
Adjusting the Lift Arm
Counterbalance
You can adjust the counterbalance on the rear cutting unit
lift arms to compensate for different turf conditions and to
maintain a uniform height of cut in rough conditions or in
areas of thatch buildup.
You can adjust each counterbalance spring to one of
four settings. Each increment increases or decreases
counterbalance on the cutting unit by 1.4 kg (3 lb). The
springs can be positioned on the back side of the first spring
actuator to remove all counterbalance (forth position).
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking
brakes, and remove the key from ignition switch
2. Insert a tube or similar object onto the long spring
end to relieve the spring tension during the adjustment
(Figure
33).
CAUTION
The springs are under tension and could cause
personal injury.
Use caution when adjusting them.
3. While relieving the spring tension, remove the bolt
and locknut securing the spring actuator to the bracket
(Figure
33).

4. Move the spring actuator to the desired hole location
and secure it with the bolt and the locknut.
5. Repeat the procedure on the remaining spring.
1. Park the machine on a level surface. Make sure that the
fuel tank is at least half full.
2. Unlatch and raise the hood.
DANGER
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and
others and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors,
in an open area, when the engine is off and
is cold. Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full.
Add fuel to the fuel tank until the level is
6 to 13 mm (1/4 to 1/2 inch) below the
bottom of the filler neck. This empty space
in the tank allows the fuel to expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay
away from an open flame or where fuel
fumes may be ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved
container and keep the cap in place.
3. Open the air-bleed screw on the fuel-injection pump
(Figure
34).
