make the adjustments to the side cutting units
only.
3.
If the inside edge of the side cutting unit is too
high relative to the outside edge of the front
cutting unit, remove a shim from the bottom of
the front, inside caster arm on the side cutting
unit
(Figure
31).
Note:
Check the measurements between the
outside edges of both side cutting units and the
inside edge of the side cutting unit to the outside
edge of the front cutting unit again.
4.
If the inside edge is still too high, remove an
additional shim from the bottom of front, inside
caster arm of the side cutting unit and a shim
from the front, outside caster arm of the side
cutting unit.
5.
If the inside edge of the side cutting unit is too
low relative to the outside edge of the front
cutting unit, add a shim to the bottom of the
front, inside caster arm on the side cutting unit.
Note:
Check the measurement between the
outside edges of both side cutting units and the
inside edge of the side cutting unit to the outside
edge of front cutting unit again.
6.
If the inside edge is still too low, add an additional
shim to the bottom of front, inside caster arm of
the side cutting unit and add a shim to the front,
outside caster arm of the side cutting unit.
7.
When the cutting height matches at the edges
of front and side cutting units, verify that the
side mower-deck pitch is still 8 to 11 mm (5/16
to 7/16 inch).
Note:
Adjust as necessary.
Checking the
Safety-Interlock Switches
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The machine has interlock switches in the electrical
system. These switches disengage either the traction
unit or the PTO whenever you leave the seat. If you
disengage the PTO and engage the parking brake
before you leave the seat, the engine continues to run.
1.
Drive the machine slowly to a large, open area.
Lower the cutting unit, shut off the engine, and
apply the parking brake.
2.
Sit on the seat and press the traction pedal. Try
to start the engine. The engine should not start.
If the engine starts, there is a malfunction in the
interlock system that should be corrected before
beginning operation.
3.
Sit on the seat, start the engine, and engage
the PTO. While sitting in the seat with the
PTO engaged, rise from the seat. The PTO
should disengage after a slight delay. If the
PTO engages, there is a malfunction in the
interlock system that should be corrected before
beginning operation.
4.
Sit on the seat, engage the parking brake and
start the engine. Move the traction pedal out of
the N
position. The InfoCenter should
EUTRAL
display "traction not allowed" and the machine
should not move. If the machine does move,
there is a malfunction in the interlock system that
should be corrected before beginning operation.
