Test Procedure
1. Ensure that the hydraulic fluid is at normal operating temperature by
operating the machine for at least 10 minutes.
2. Park the machine on a level surface with the reel engage switch off, lower
the cutting units, shut off the engine, set the mow speed limiter to the M
OW
position, and set the parking brake.
3. Ensure that the mow/backlap lever on the mow control manifold is in the
M
OW
position.
4. Read all Warning, Cautions, and precautions listed at the beginning of this
section.

5. For testing the rear mow circuit, remove the cap from the test fitting at mow
control manifold port (G1) and install a pressure gauge with hydraulic hose to
the test fitting (
). If testing the front mow circuit, remove the cap
from the test fitting at mow control manifold port (G2) and install a pressure
gauge with hydraulic hose to the test fitting.
CAUTION
Keep away from the cutting units during test to prevent personal
injury from the cutting reel blades.
6. Sit in the operator’s seat, start the engine, and press the engine speed switch
to full speed
(3,005 to 3,055 rpm)
position. Use the InfoCenter to check that
the engine speed is correct.
7. Engage the cutting units. When engaged, the cutting circuit pressure may
exceed manifold relief valve pressure setting of
24,100 kPa (3,500 psi)
for
front mow circuit and
17,500 kPa (2,500 psi)
for rear mow circuit momentarily
opening the relief valve. The circuit pressure should then stabilize at
approximately
8,274 kPa (1,200 psi)
.
8. Safely secure the test pressure gauge and operate the machine under your
specific mowing conditions. Monitor the test gauge while mowing. The
cutting unit circuit pressure should be approximately: 10,340 to 13,800 kPa
(1,500 to 2,000 psi) under low to normal load conditions.
