Adjusting the Lift Arm Down

Pressure

You can adjust the down pressure spring on each
cutting unit lift arm to compensate for different
turf conditions. Increased down pressure 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.
You can adjust each down pressure spring to one
of four settings. Each increment increases or
decreases down pressure on the cutting unit by 8
lb (3.6 kg).
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. Remove the floor plate in front of the seat and
open the hood to gain access to all 5 springs.
The springs are under tension.
Use caution when adjusting them.
3. Place an open end wrench on the hex shaft of
the spring bracket (Figure 34).
