Shutting Off the Engine
1. Move all controls to NEUTRAL, engage the parking brake, move the engine-speed switch
to the L
OW IDLE position and allow the engine to reach low idle speed.

Adjusting the Turf-Compensation Spring
The turf-compensation spring transfers the weight from the front roller 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 ground.
