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 build up.
You can adjust each counterbalance spring to one of
four settings. Each increment increases or decreases
counterbalance on the cutting unit by 5 lb (2.3 kg). The
springs can be positioned on the back side of the spring
actuator to remove all counter balance (forth position).
1. Position the machine on a level surface, lower the
cutting units, stop the engine, engage the parking
brakes, and remove the key from ignition switch.
2. Insert a tube or similar object onto the long
spring end to relieve the spring tension during the
adjustment (Figure 41).
CAUTION
The springs are under tension.
Use caution when adjusting them.
3. While relieving the spring tension, remove the bolt
and locknut securing the spring actuator to the
bracket (Figure 41).
