•
The traction pedal is in the N
EUTRAL
position.
•
The functional-control lever is in the N
EUTRAL
position.
The safety-interlock system prevents the machine
from moving unless:
•
The parking brake is off.
•
The operator is seated.
•
The functional-control lever is in the M
OW
position
or the T
RANSPORT
position.
The safety-interlock system prevents the reels from
operating unless the functional-control lever is in the
M
OW
position.
Perform the following system checks daily to ensure
that the interlock system is operating correctly:
1.
Sit on the seat, move the traction pedal to the
N
EUTRAL
position, move the functional-control
lever to the N
EUTRAL
position, and engage the
parking brake.
2.
Try to press the traction pedal.
The pedal should not press, which means that
the interlock system is operating correctly.
Correct the problem if it is not operating properly.
3.
Sit on the seat, move the traction pedal to the
N
EUTRAL
position, move the functional-control
lever to the N
EUTRAL
position, and engage the
parking brake.
4.
Move the functional-control lever to the M
OW
position or the T
RANSPORT
position and try to
start the engine.
The engine should not turn over or start, which
means that the interlock system is operating
correctly. Correct the problem if it is not
operating properly.
5.
Sit on the seat, move the traction pedal to the
N
EUTRAL
position, move the functional-control
lever to the N
EUTRAL
position, and engage the
parking brake.
6.
Start the engine and move the functional-control
lever to the M
OW
position or the T
RANSPORT
position.
The engine should kill, which means that the
interlock system is operating correctly.
Correct the problem if it is not operating properly.
7.
Sit on the seat, move the traction pedal to the
N
EUTRAL
position, move the functional control
lever to the N
EUTRAL
position, and engage the
parking brake.
8.
Start the engine.
9.
Release the parking brake, move the functional
control lever to the M
OW
position, and rise from
the seat.
The engine should shut off, which means that
the interlock system is operating correctly.
Correct the problem if it is not operating properly.
10.
Sit on the seat, move the traction pedal to the
N
EUTRAL
position, move the functional control
lever to the N
EUTRAL
position, and engage the
parking brake.
11.
Start the engine.
12.
Move the raise/lower mow control forward to
lower the cutting units. The cutting units should
lower but not start rotating.
If they start rotating, the interlock system is not
operating correctly; correct the problem before
operating the machine.
Installing and Removing
the Cutting Units
Note:
When sharpening, setting the height-of-cut,
or performing other maintenance procedures on the
cutting units, store the cutting unit reel motors in the
storage location on the front of the suspension arms
to prevent damage to them.
Important:
Do not raise the suspension to the
transport position when the reel motors are in
the holders in the machine frame. Damage to the
motors or hoses could result.
Important:
Whenever you need to tip the cutting
unit, prop up rear of cutting unit to ensure that
the nuts on the bedbar adjusting screws are not
resting on work surface (
).
