Using Counterweights
• Weights are installed to improve handling, balance
and improve performance. Weights can be added or
removed to create optimized performance under
different mowing conditions and for operator
preference.
• It is recommended that weights be added or
removed one at a time until the desired handing and
balance is achieved.
Note: Contact an Authorized Service Dealer to order
a Weight Kit.
Excessive weight changes can effect handling and
operation of the machine. This could cause serious
injury to you or bystanders.
Make weight changes in small increments only.
Evaluate the mower after each weight change to
ensure the machine can be operated safely.
