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
