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 lift arms of
the rear cutting units 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 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 counterbalance
(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 from the ignition
switch.
2. Insert a tube or similar object onto the long
spring end to relieve the spring tension during
the adjustment (Figure
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

5. Turn the key in the ignition switch to the O
position. The electric fuel pump will begin
operation, thereby forcing air out around the
air-bleed screw.
