3.12 Weight Transfer Springs
It is important that the weight transfer
system is operating properly. The weight
transfer springs help to lighten the
mower deck by transferring excess
weight to the drive unit. The elimination
of excess weight allows more agile float-
ing of the mower deck, resulting in a
higher quality cut and a lower incidence
of turf damage.
The weight transfer springs are located
under the operator seat pan, running
from the mounting bolt on the left front of
the frame to the anchor located on the pivot arm. The pivot arm extends to the outer left
and right of the frame.
Check to be sure that all weight transfer springs are properly mounted and secure. The
springs may come as close as one inch to the mounting bracket. Adjust the spring tension
by tightening the bolt at the rear of the springs.
Proper operation of the weight transfer system will allow you to lift the mowing deck by
the handle with little effort.
