WEIGHT TRANSFER / TRACTION ASSISTANCE

A variable hydraulic weight transfer system is provided for improving tyre grip with the grass surface -

‘Traction Assistance’.

Hydraulic pressure in the cutterhead lift system provides a lifting force which reduces cutterhead weight on the ground and transfers the weight as a downward force onto the mower’s tyres. This action is known as ‘Weight Transfer’.

To engage weight transfer: The amount of weight transfer can be varied to suit operating conditions by rotating the weight transfer hand wheel as follows;

Release the lock wheel underneath the hand wheel 1/2 turn anti-clockwise and hold.

Rotate the hand wheel:

- Anti-clockwise to reduce weight transfer.

 

- Clockwise to increase weight transfer.

Tighten the lock wheel.
