5. Pump the lever on the fuel pump (Fig. 16) until
a solid stream of fuel flows out around the
screw on the fuel injection pump. Tighten the
air bleed screw.
Note: Normally the engine should start after
the above bleeding procedures. However, if the
engine does not start, air may be trapped
between the injection pump and the injectors;
refer to Bleeding Air From The Injectors.
SETTING REEL SPEED
To achieve a consistent, high quality of cut, and a
uniform after-cut appearance, it is important that the
reel speed be matched to the height of cut.
Adjust the reel speed controls as follows:
1. Select the height-of-cut at which the cutting
units should be set.
2. Choose the desired ground speed best suited for
conditions.
3. Using the appropriate graph (Fig. 19) for 5-
blade or 8-blade cutting units, determine the
correct reel speed setting.
4. To set reel speed, turn the knobs (Fig. 18), until
the indicator arrows are in line with the number
designating the desired setting.

Note: Reel speed can be increased or decreased to
compensate for turf conditions.
