Adjusting the Cutting-Unit Counterbalance (continued)
Adjust the counterbalance force of each torsion spring to 1 of 4 settings. Each increment
increases or decreases the counterbalance force on the cutting unit by 2.3 kg (5 lb).

To remove all counterbalance force, position the long leg of the torsion spring below
the bolt, washer, spacer, and locknut.

shut off the engine, and remove the key.
2. Insert a tube or similar object over the long leg of the spring, and lift the spring leg to
relieve pressure on the spacer.
