Turf-Compensation Settings
The turf-compensation spring transfers the 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, pointing straight
ahead and lowered to the shop floor.

Tighten the hex nuts on the front end of the spring rod
until the compressed length of the spring is 15.9 cm
(6.25 inches); refer to

Note:
When operating on rough terrain decrease the
spring length by 12.7 mm (0.5 inch). Ground following
will be slightly shorter.
Note:
You must reset the turf-compensation setting if
the HOC setting or the aggressiveness-of-cut setting
is changed.

These are the recommended height-of-cut settings when a
groomer kit is installed on the cutting unit.
