Adjusting the Turf
Compensation Spring
Note: This adjustment is needed for Cutting Unit Models
03527 and 03528 only.
The turf compensation spring (Fig. 13), connecting carrier
frame to cutting unit, controls the amount of fore-aft
rotation available.
The Turf Compensation Spring also transfers weight from
the front to rear roller. (This helps to reduce a wave pattern
in the turf, also known as bobbing.)
Important Make spring adjustments with cutting unit
mounted to traction unit and lowered to shop floor.
1. Tighten locknut on rear of spring rod until the gap (C)
between rear of spring bracket and front of washer is
1.25 in. (32 mm) (Fig. 13).
2. Tighten hex nuts on front end of spring rod until the
compressed length (A) of spring is 6.25 in. (328 mm)
(Fig. 13).
Note: As compressed spring length (A) decreases, weight
transfer from front roller to rear roller increases and carrier
frame/cutting unit rotation angle (B) decreases.
Note: As gap (C) between spring bracket and washer
increases, carrier frame/cutting unit rotation angle (B)
increases.

The turnaround height of the front outer cutting units (#4 &

clearance on contoured fairways. Contact your distributor
for assistance in adjusting the ECU settings.
