from the Traction Unit
1. Position the machine on a level surface, raise the cutting
unit, engage the parking brake, put the traction pedal in
neutral, the PTO lever in the Off position, shut the
engine off, and remove the ignition key.
Caution
The counterbalance spring is in tension when the
deck is in the lowered position.
Always raise the deck before adjusting or
removing the spring.
2. Disconnect the counterbalance from the traction unit,
remove the lock pins from the brackets, separate the
spring tension assemblies from the brackets, and lay
them down on the deck. Loosely secure the lock pins to
the brackets to prevent losing them (Fig. 24).
