Adjusting the Turf
Compensation Spring
No Parts Required
Procedure
The turf compensation spring (Figure 21) transfers
weight from the front to the rear roller. (This helps
to reduce a wave pattern in the turf, also known as
marcelling or bobbing.)
Important: Make spring adjustments with the
cutting unit mounted to the traction unit, pointing
straight ahead and lowered to the shop floor.
1. Make sure the hairpin cotter is installed in the rear
hole in the spring rod (Figure 21).
Note: When servicing the cutting unit, move the
hairpin cotter to the spring rod hole next to the turf
compensation spring.

2. Tighten the hex nuts on the front end of the spring
rod until the compressed length of the spring is 6.25
inches (15.9 cm) (Figure 21).
Note: When operating on rough terrain decrease
the spring length by 1/2 inch. Ground following will
be slightly decreased.
Note: The turf compensation setting will need to
be reset if the HOC setting or the Aggressiveness
of Cut setting is changed.
