Adjusting the Weight Transfer
of the Mower Deck
No Parts Required
Procedure
You can change the hydraulic pressure used to transfer the
weight of the mower deck to the traction unit by adjusting
weight-transfer valve of the lift manifold. For best cutting
performance, adjust the weight-transfer valve so that any
bouncing motion of the mower deck is minimal over uneven
turf, but also adjust the weight-transfer valve so that the
mower deck does not ride heavily over flat terrain.
•
To improve the contour-tracking performance of the
cutting deck as you operate the machine over uneven turf,
decrease the weight-transfer (hydraulic) pressure at the
lift manifold.
