Traction Unit Lift Arm Spring Replacement
1. Put machine on a level surface, lower cutting units,
stop engine, engage parking brakes, and remove key
from the ignition switch.
2. Remove floor plate in the front of the seat to get ac-
cess to the front springs, or open hood to get access to
the rear springs.
Springs are under tension. Use caution when re-
moving or adjusting.
3. Put an open end wrench on the hex shaft of the
spring bracket.
NOTE: Because the wrench can be moved only a limit-
ed distance, it may be necessary to use a second
wrench to hold the hex shaft while repositioning the oth-
er wrench for further rotation of the hex shaft.
4. Remove cap screw and locknut securing the retain-
ing bracket while rotating hex shaft to relieve spring ten-
sion, then rotate hex shaft to completely relieve spring
tension.
5. Remove spring.
6. Install new spring.
7. Use an open end wrench to move spring bracket to
the desired position. Install cap screw and locknut while
