Adjusting The Lift-Arm Counterbalance; Adjusting The Lift-Arm Turnaround Position - Toro Reelmaster 5510-D Operator's Manual

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
the rough conditions or in areas of thatch buildup.
You can adjust each counterbalance spring to 1 of
4 settings. Each increment increases or decreases
counterbalance on the cutting unit by 2.3 kg (5 lb).
You can position the springs on the back side of the
first spring actuator to remove all counter balance
(fourth position).
1. Park the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, engage the parking brake, shut off
the engine, and remove the key.
2. Insert a tube or similar object onto the long
spring end and pivot it around the spring actuator
to the desired position
CAUTION
The springs are under tension and could
cause personal injury.
Use caution when adjusting the springs.
