3.13 Weight Transfer Springs
The weight transfer springs help to
lighten the mower deck by transferring
excess weight to the drive unit, allowing
more agile floating of the mower deck
and a higher quality cut.
The weight transfer springs are located
under the operator seat pan. See Figure
3-5.
Check that all weight transfer springs
are properly mounted and secure. (The
springs may come as close as one inch
to the mounting bracket.)
5. 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.
