WEIGHT TRANSFER / TRACTION ASSISTANCE
A variable hydraulic weight transfer system is provided for improving tyre grip with the grass surface -
'Traction Assistance'.
Hydraulic pressure in the cutterhead lift system provides a lifting force which reduces cutterhead weight
on the ground and transfers the weight as a downward force onto the mower's tyres. This action is
known as 'Weight Transfer'.
To engage weight transfer: The amount of weight transfer can be varied to suit operating conditions by
rotating the weight transfer hand wheel as follows;
Release the lock wheel (1) underneath the hand wheel 1/2 turn anti-clockwise and hold.
Rotate the hand wheel (2):- Anti-clockwise to reduce weight transfer. (i.e to increase cutterhead weight)
Tighten the lock wheel.
