Refer to Figure 2-14:
Independent Control
a. Check Hydraulic Reservoir. Make sure it is full of
hydraulic oil and shut-off valve is fully OPEN.
b. With tractor engine at an idle, engage power take-
off and then increase engine speed to about half
the cutter rated power take-off speed.
c. Refer to Figure 2-14: Press and hold push button
switch labeled “ARM 1 OUT” (See Arrow)
momentary. The inboard parallel arm should start
to extend outward. If it does not move or moves in
the wrong direction (retracts), you should do one
of the following:
•
Check hydraulic plumbing to and from the
solenoid box to make sure hydraulic hoses are
not plumbed in reversed order.
•
Check electrical layout to make sure wiring is
correct.
4. After “ARM 1” has been verified to function correctly,
purge hydraulic system of air as follows:
a. Press and hold push button labeled “DECK
DOWN” until deck is in the horizontal position.
b. Press and hold push button labeled “ARM 2 OUT”
until the outboard parallel arm is fully extend.
c. Press and hold push button labeled “ARM 1 OUT”
until the inboard parallel arm is fully extend.
d. Repeat steps a to c in reverse order to retract all
three cylinders.
e. Cycle the cylinders to full extension and retraction
several times to make sure all air is purged.
ON/OFF Push Button Checks
Refer to Figure 2-14:
1. Read and understand hooking-up and unhooking
“Transport Safety Chain” on page 18. Remove
transport safety chain from the latched position and
place loose end on storage hook.
2. Start tractor and adjust 3-point hitch until driveline is
approximately level.
Float Switch ON/OFF Push Button Check
Refer to Figure 2-14:
Gauge wheels must be installed before checking Float
Switch operation. Install gauge wheels per instructions
“Gauge Wheels (Optional)” on page 20.
Make this functional check with “ARM 1” and “ARM 2”
approximately 3/4 extended and with the cutter deck
resting on its gauge wheels.
1. Operate “DECK DOWN”, “ARM 2 OUT”, and “ARM 1
OUT” push button switches to lower gauge wheels to
ground level.
2. Change Float Switch from “OFF” to “ON”. LED light
should be illuminated when Float switch is “ON”.
IMPORTANT: Make sure “Deck Float” and/or “Deck
Motor” push buttons are “OFF”.
IMPORTANT: See Figure 2-15: Maker sure reservoir
shut-off valve is fully OPEN and reservoir tank is full
of oil before engaging power take-off. Damage will
occur to pump if shut-off valve is
“CLOSED.”
