Changing The Belt On The Cutting Unit - Husqvarna Rider PR 17 Workshop Manual

4. Place a set of bathroom scales under the
cutting unit's frame (on the front edge) so
that the unit rests on the scales. If neces-
sary a block can be placed between the
frame and the scales so that the anti-
scalp rollers do not support any weight.
5. Adjust the cutting unit's ground pressure
by screwing the adjuster screws, which
are located behind the front wheels on
both sides, in or out.
The ground pressure should be between
12 and 15 kg /26.5-33 lb and the springs
evenly tensioned.
