differences in grass condition, grass length
removed, and personal preference of the
superintendent. For a cut with more grass
removed but slightly more clip visibility, move
the reel speed selector knobs one position
lower than specified. For a cut with less grass
removed and slightly less clip visibility, move
the reel speed selector knobs one position
higher than specified.
Note: Reel speed can be increased or decreased
to compensate for turf conditions.
Adjusting Rear Lift Arm
Counterbalance
The counterbalance spring on the rear cutting unit
lift arms can be adjusted to compensate for different
turf conditions. Decreased counterbalance will help
keep the cutting units on the ground when mowing
at higher speeds and helps maintain a uniform
height-of-cut in rough conditions or in areas of
thatch build up.
Each counterbalance spring may be adjusted to one
of three settings. Each increment increases or
decreases down pressure on the cutting units.
1.
Position the machine on a level surface, lower
the cutting units, stop the engine, engage the
parking brakes and remove the key from the
ignition switch.
CAUTION
Springs are under tension, use caution when
adjusting.
2.
Remove the capscrew and locknut while
relieving spring tension.
3.
Move spring bolt to desired location and install
capscrew and locknut, while relieving spring
tension.

Towing the Traction Unit
If it becomes necessary to tow the machine, tow it
forward only and at a speed no greater than 4.8 kmh
(3 mph).
Note: If you exceed these towing limits, severe
damage to the hydrostatic transmission may occur.
To tow a disabled machine:
1.
Loosen and remove the capscrews securing the
drive shaft to the engine. Loosen the
capscrews clamping the drive shaft to
transmission (Fig. 18). Remove the drive
shaft.
1. Drive shaft
Important: If the drive shaft is not removed
before towing, the transmission input shaft will
not be able to rotate, and not allow the
transmission to maintain its internal lubrication.
Severe damage to the hydrostatic transmission
will occur.
