Hydraulic Valve Solenoid

Functions

Use the list below to identify and describe the
different functions of the solenoids in the hydraulic
manifold. Each solenoid must be energized to
allow function to occur.

Operating Tips

Familiarization
Before mowing grass, practice operating the
machine in an open area. Start and stop the engine.
Operate in forward and reverse. Lower and raise
the cutting units and engage and disengage the
reels. When you feel familiar with the machine,
practice operating up and down slopes at different
speeds.
The brakes can be used to assist in turning the
machine. However, use them carefully, especially
on soft or wet grass conditions because the turf
may be torn accidentally. You may also use
individual turning brakes to help maintain traction.
For example, in some slope conditions, the uphill
wheel slips and loses traction. If this situation
occurs, press the uphill turn pedal gradually and
intermittently until the uphill wheel stops slipping,
thus, increasing traction on the downhill wheel.
When operating the machine, always use the
seat belt and ROPS together.
Warning System
If a warning light comes on during operation, stop
the machine immediately and correct the problem

before continuing operation. Serious damage
could occur if you operate the machine with a
malfunction.
Mowing
Start the engine and move the throttle to the Fast
position. Move the Enable/Disable switch to the
Enable position and use the Lower Mow/Raise
lever to control the cutting units (the front cutting
units are timed to lower before the rear cutting
units). To move forward and cut grass, press the
traction pedal forward.
Note: Allow the 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.
Transport
Move the Enable/Disable switch to the Disable
position and raise the cutting units to the transport
position. Be careful when driving between objects
so you do not accidentally damage the machine
or cutting units. Use extra care when operating
the machine on slopes. Drive slowly and avoid
sharp turns on slopes to prevent roll overs. Lower
the cutting units when going downhill for steering
control.
