UNIT COUNTERBALANCE CONTROL (B Fig.5)
Cutting unit ground pressure can be varied within preset
limits and is controlled by the handwheel on the right hand
side of the operators seat next to the lift / lower lever.
The handwheel is turned clockwise to reduce the ground
weight of the cutting unit and to improve slope climbing
performance.
The handwheel is turned anticlockwise to increase ground
weight of the cutting unit and this setting will reduce the
possibility of cutting unit "bounce" when working at high
speed on undulating ground. The normal position for this
control is midway between the minimum and maximum
settings.
