Weight Transfer Spring
Adjustment
Weight transfer springs are assembled from the
factory to apply the maximum amount of weight onto
the drive wheels. This setting provides the greatest
amount of traction. Some conditions may require
the rear wheel lift to be reduced. This can be done
by reducing the amount to weight transfer, which
will increase the amount of weight on the front and
rear casters.
1. Rotate the left motion control arm up and into
the operation position.
2. Locate and loosen the knob under the rear of the
left fender (see Figure 15).

instructions.
WARNING
Weight transfer springs may have stored
energy. Removing the weight transfer
springs without releasing the stored energy
can cause serious injury.
Fold mower deck and front frame and lock in
service position to remove spring tension and
release stored energy before performing any
maintenance or adjustments on the weight
transfer springs. (See Deck Manual for Deck
Raising instructions).
5. Remove the retaining ring and washer at either
end of the weight transfer spring that retains it to
the transfer bellcrank pins and/or weight transfer
spring anchor pins (see Figure 16).
6. Pull the spring off of front or rear pin and
re-install in the outer hole, to reduce the spring
force. Re-install the washer and retaining ring.
