SECTION 8K. REEL VALVE
GENERAL
There are two reel valves used to control the rotation of
the reel motors. Both valves are mounted near the front
of the mower. The valves are identical. One valve con-
trols the three front reels and the other valve controls
the center reel motor rotation (Figure 8K-1).
REMOVAL
1. Shut down the engine and remove the ignition
key.
2. Thoroughly clean the valve especially the area
surrounding the hydraulic hoses, tubes, and fit-
tings.
3. Tag and disconnect the hydraulic hoses and tubes
from the valve. Immediately plug the hoses, tubes,
and valve to prevent contamination of the hydrau-
lic system.
4. Tag and disconnect both solenoid wiring harness
connectors.
5. While supporting the valve, remove two mounting
screws and lock washers from the bottom of the
valve.
6. Remove the valve from the mower.
INSTALLATION
1. Position the valve on the mount and secure with
two mounting screws and lock washers.
2. Using tag created during removal, connect the
wiring harness connectors to both solenoids.
3. Remove plugs and using tags created during
removal, connect the hydraulic hoses and tubes to
the valve fittings.
4. Replace the hydraulic filter.
5. Start engine and check valve operation. Check for
leaks and repair as necessary.
