Danger
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can cause property damage.
Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1 in. (25 mm)
below the bottom of the filler neck. This empty
space in the tank allows the fuel to expand.
Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
4. Turn key in ignition switch to the ON position. Electric
fuel pump will begin operation, thereby forcing air out
around air bleed screw. Leave key in ON position until
solid stream of fuel flows out around screw. Tighten
screw and turn key to OFF.
Note: Normally, engine should start after above bleeding
procedures are followed. However, if engine does not start,
air may be trapped between injection pump and injectors;
refer to Bleeding Air From Injectors.
Check Operation Of Interlock
Switches
If safety interlock switches are disconnected or
1
damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly
causing personal injury.
Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily and replace any damaged switches before
operating the machine.
Replace switches every two years regardless of
whether they are operating properly or not.
1. Make sure all bystanders are away from the area of
operation. Keep hands and feet away from cutting units.
2. With operator on seat, the engine must not start with
either reel switch engaged or traction pedal engaged.
Correct problem if not operating properly.
3. With operator on the seat, traction pedal in neutral,
parking brake off and reel switch in OFF position, the
engine should start. Lift off the seat and slowly depress
the traction pedal, the engine should stop in one to
three seconds. Correct problem if not operating
properly.
4. With operator on the seat, engine running, reel transport
slide in mow and reel switch in ON position, lower
cutting units. Reels should come on. Pull back on the
lift lever, the reels should stop when fully raised.
Correct problem if not operating properly.
Note: The machine is equipped with an interlock switch on
the parking brake. Engine will stop if traction pedal is
depressed with parking brake engaged.
