2. Secure the other end of the spring to the appropriate
hole (see below) on the front and rear counterbalance
arms (Fig. 13 & 14) with the spring shackle, clevis pin,
and cotter pin.
Fourth hole from the top for 5 blade reels
Third hole from the top for 8 blade reels
Top hole for reels with baskets
Note: On the rear counterbalance spring, install the vinyl
cover over the spring before installing.
Note: Increasing the spring tension will reduce the weight
on the inboard end of the cutting unit, increase the weight
on the outboard end of the cutting unit, and increase
traction. Decreasing the spring tension has the opposite
affect.

follows:
A. Remove the cotter pin and clevis pin securing the
spring shackle to the counterbalance arm. Do not
remove the other clevis pin.
B. Move the shackle up or down on the counterbalance
arm until it is aligned with the desired hole on the

1. Mount a spring anchor to the rear inboard side of each
front cutting unit lift tab with 2 capscrews (1/4 x 3/4 in.)
and locknuts, as shown in Figure 15.

2. On the front cutting units, hook the spring into the
second hole from the bottom (#3 position) in the spring
anchor (Fig. 15).
Note: Selecting the #4 hole position (increasing the spring
tension) will reduce the weight on the inboard end of the
cutting unit, increase the weight on the outboard end of the
cutting unit, and increase traction. Selecting the #2 hole
position has the opposite affect.
3. On the rear cutting unit, hook the spring into the top
hole on the rear cutting unit lift tab.
Note: Increasing the spring tension will reduce the weight
on the inboard end of the cutting unit, increase the weight
on the outboard end of the cutting unit, and increase
traction. Decreasing the spring tension has the opposite
affect.
