Aiming the Headlights
1.
Loosen the mounting nuts and position each
headlight so that it points straight ahead.
Tighten the mounting nut just enough to hold the
headlight in position.
2.
Place a flat piece of sheet metal over the face of
the headlight.
3.
Mount a magnetic protractor onto the plate.
While holding the assembly in place, carefully tilt
the headlight downward 3 degrees, then tighten
the nut.
4.
Repeat the procedure on the other headlight.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Important:
The fuel system will automatically
bleed itself when any of the following situations
occur:
•
Initial start up of a new machine.
•
The engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
•
Maintenance has been performed upon the fuel
system components.
1.
Ensure that the parking brake is set. Remove
your foot from the traction pedal and ensure that
it is in neutral.
2.
Turn the ignition key to the Run position.
3.
When the glow indicator dims, turn the ignition
key to the Start position. Release the key
immediately when the engine starts and allow it
to return to the Run position. Allow engine to
warm up at mid speed (without load), then move
the throttle control to the desired position.
Important:
Do not run the starter motor
more than 30 seconds at a time or premature

3. Lever
starter failure may result. If the engine fails
to start after 30 seconds, turn the key to
the Off position, recheck the controls and
procedures, wait 30 additional seconds, and
repeat the starting procedure.
4.
To stop the engine, move the PTO switch to the
Off position, set the parking brake, return the
throttle setting to low idle and rotate the ignition
key to Off. Remove the key from the switch to
prevent accidental starting.

Important:
Allow engine to idle for 5 minutes
before shutting it off after a full load operation.
Failure to do so may lead to turbo-charger trouble.
Cutting Grass with the
Machine
Note:
Cutting grass at a rate that loads the engine
promotes DPF regeneration.
1.
Move the machine to the job site.
2.
Whenever possible, set the engine-speed switch
to high idle.
3.
Engage the PTO switch.
4.
Gradually move the traction pedal forward and
slowly drive the machine over the mowing area.
5.
Once the front of the cutting units are over the
mowing area, lower the cutting units.
6.
Cut grass so that the blades can cut and
discharge clippings at a high rate while
producing a good quality of cut.
Note:
If the cutting rate is too high, the quality
of cut may deteriorate. Reduce the ground
speed of the machine or reduce the width of cut
to regain high idle engine speed.
7.
When the cutting units are over the far edge of
the mowing area, lift the cutting units.
8.
Perform a tear-shaped turn to quickly line up for
your next pass.
