7.2.7 Relay and Fuse operating faults
The machine has several fuses and relays, col-
lected in a box, accessible by tilting the driver's
seat.
The table shows the functions of
each component and the effects
resulting from an anomaly with re-
spect to the contacts of the relays
shown below.
7.2.8 Diodes and Rectifiers
Diodes are solid state, semiconductor devices. They contain no moving parts and conduct current
better in one direction than the other.
• Diodes
- Diodes allow current to flow through one circuit without “backing up” into another. In
engine alternator circuits, a diode is used to convert current which flows back and forth (AC) in
a circuit to current which flows only in one direction (DC). A device which converts alternating
current to a direct current is called a RECTIFIER. A diode is one type of rectifier.

Component
Effect generated by an anomaly
F1
- Fuse 20 A - General
Nothing works
F2
- Fuse 20 A - PTO Clutch
The clutch does not work and the blades do not engage
R1
-Ignition consent relay from PTO
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87, the engine will not start
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87A, the engine will start with
PTO ON
R2
-PTO safety switch relay
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87, the PTO is always ON
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87A, the PTO does not work
and if engaged it switches OFF the engine
R3
- Ignition consent relay from safety
switches
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87, the engine will not start
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87A, the engine will start with
the operator on the ground
R4
-Engine switch off relay with key
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87, the engine will not switch
off using the key
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87A, the engine will not start
R5
- Hour counter relay
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87, the hour counter will not
work
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87A, the hour counter will
always work
R6
-PTO relay
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87, the PTO is always ON
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87A, the PTO will not work
R1
-Engine switch off relay from the seat
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87, the engine will start with
the operator on the ground
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87A, the engine will not start
R3
- Engine switch off relay from safety de-
vices
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87, the engine will not start
• If contact 30 remains stuck to contact 87A with the PTO ON, the mo-
ment the engine basket is opened it does not switch off
