Adjusting the Turf
Compensation Spring
No Parts Required
Procedure
The turf compensation spring ( Figure 14 ) transfers
weight from the front to the rear roller. This helps
to reduce a wave pattern in the turf, also known as
marcelling or bobbing.
Important:
Make spring adjustments with the
cutting unit mounted to the traction unit.
1. Align the machine straight ahead, and engage
the parking brake.
2. Press the cutting unit drive switch to the
D
ISENGAGE
position.
3. Move the mow/transport slide to the M
OW
position.
4. Start the engine, and push the lower mow/raise
lever forward to lower the cutting units to the
shop floor.
5. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and wait for
all moving parts to stop.
6. Make sure that the hairpin cotter is installed in
the rear hole in the spring rod (
Figure 14 ).

7. Tighten the hex nuts on the front end of the
spring rod until the compressed length of the
spring (
Figure 14 ) is 12.7 cm (5 inches) for
5-inch cutting units and 15.8 cm (6-1/4 inches)
for 7-inch cutting units.
Note:
When operating on rough terrain,
decrease the spring length by 2.5 cm (1/2 inch).
When you decrease spring length, the cutting
unit follows the ground less closely.
