clutch should be engaged, the dash indicator light
glowing and the jackshaft turning when the lift
cylinder is fully retracted. As the lift cylinder is
extended, the light should go out, the clutch disen-
gage and the jackshaft stop turning. Correct the
problem if the safety switches are not operating
correctly.
3.
With the operator on the seat, the engine running,
the clutch switch engaged, the cutting units lowered
and the lift cylinder fully retracted, the reels should
turn and the dash indicator light should glow. If the
reels do not turn and the light does not glow, an
adjustment to the cutting unit interlock switch may
be necessary.
A.
Stop the engine and set the parking brake.
B.
Make sure the cutting units are completely
lowered and the lift cylinder is fully retracted.
C.
Locate the cutting unit interlock switch on the
left side of the machine on the bottom of the
hydraulic cylinder.
D.
Turn the screw out until the switch is activated.
Check continuity when the switch is activated.
E.
Check operation and repeat adjustment, if nec-
essary.
ADJUST THE STEERING COLUMN
1.
Raise the hood.
2.
Remove the capscrew securing the steering column
to the frame bracket.
3.
Adjust the steering column to the desired operating
position and reinstall the capscrew.
TOWING THE TRACTION UNIT
In case of emergency, the Reelmaster 216-D can be
towed for a short distance. However, Toro does not rec-
ommend this as a standard procedure.
IMPORTANT Do not tow the machine faster than
3–4.8 kmh (2–3 mph) because the drive system
may be damaged. If the machine must be
moved a considerable distance, transport it on
a truck or trailer.
1.
Turn the by-pass valve on pump counterclockwise
until it is fully open.
2.
Before starting the engine, close the by-pass valve
securely by rotating it clockwise. Do not exceed
7–11 Nm (5–8 ft-lb) torque. Do not start the
engine when the valve is open.
TRAINING PERIOD
Before mowing with the Reelmaster, The Toro Company
suggests you find a clear area and practice starting and
stopping, raising and lowering the cutting units, turning,
etc. This training period will help the operator gain con-
fidence in the performance of the Reelmaster.
