Checking and adjustment of the cutting unit’s ground pressure
To achieve the best cutting results the cutting unit should follow the underlying surface without pressing too hard against it.
Pressure is adjusted using a screw and spring on each side of the Rider.

2Place the machine on a flat surface.
3Put the lifting lever in the mowing position.
4Place a set of bathroom scales under the cutting unit’s frame (front edge) so that it rests on the scales. If necessary a block can be placed between the frame and scales so that the support wheels do not bear any weight.
