IMPORTANT: These are recommended settings.
Readjust the spring positions to attain optimum per-
formance. By raising the spring locations on the
counterbalance arms, the cutting unit weight on the
ground is reduced and traction is increased.
4. To tension the counterbalance springs proceed as
follows:
A. Remove the cotter pin and clevis pin securing
the spring shackle to the counterbalance arm.
Do not remove the other clevis pin.
B. Move the shackle up or down on counterbal-
ance arm until aligned with the desired hole of
the arm. Reinstall the clevis pin and cotter
pin.
