Adjusting the Lift Cylinder and
Counterbalance Springs
1. Raise the seat.
2. Start the engine and lower the cutting unit lift arms until
the lift cylinder is fully extended and lift (cutting unit)
is fully lowered.
3. Measure the distance between the cylinder jam nuts and
cylinder pivot pin (Fig. 27). The distance should be
approximately 2-1/4 in. (57 mm).

4. Loosen the jam nuts and adjust them, if necessary, to
attain the needed clearance.
5. Start the engine and raise the lift arms until the lift
cylinder is fully retracted and lift (cutting unit) is fully
raised.
6. Check the distance between the clevis pin and bottom
hooks of the springs (Fig. 25). The distance should be
1/4 in. (6 mm) or less.
7. Adjust the nut on the lift arm “T” hook to obtain the
required distance.

Adjusting the Transmission
Neutral
The machine must not creep when the traction pedal is
released. If it does creep, an adjustment is required.
1. Park machine on a level surface, lower the cutting unit,
and stop the engine. Disengage the PTO and engage the
parking brake.
2. Raise the seat.
3. Jack up the front of the machine until the tires are off of
the shop floor. Support the machine with jack stands to
prevent it from falling accidentally.
Danger
Mechanical or hydraulic jacks may fail to support
machine and cause a serious injury.
• Use jack stand when supporting machine.
• Do not use hydraulic jacks.
4. Loosen the locknut on the adjustment cam (Fig. 29).
5. Start the engine and rotate the adjusting cam in either
direction until the wheels stop rotating (Fig. 29).
