MOW SPEED _____________________________________________________________
Cutting quality is better at speeds well below the transport
speed of the mower. An initial mow speed of seven to eight
mph is set at the factory and should be satisfactory for most
cutting conditions. Local turf conditions however may
respond better to a different speed.
To set mow speed, loosen jam nut
(R)
,
and adjust stop
screw up to reduce speed, down to increase speed. Tighten
nut to hold adjustment in place.

WEIGHT TRANSFER _______________________________________________________
1.
Adjusting weight transfer knob affects lowering time of
the lift arms and also affects ground pressure at each
tire.
2.
Loosen thin knob
(J)
, and adjust large knob
(K)
to
increase or decrease
cutting unit weight. Knob adjusts
all three mowers simultaneously.
a.
Increasing cutting unit weight allows mowers to
follow contours of ground better and reduces
mower ground pressure.
b.
Decreasing cutting unit weight increases mower
weight, which increases traction on slopes.
c.
Once desired ground pressure has been obtained,
tighten thin knob
(J)
.
