bleed screw. Leave the key in the On position until
a solid stream of fuel flows out around the screw.
5. Tighten the screw and turn the key to the Off
position.
Note: Normally, the engine should start after the
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 the Injectors in , page .
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Important: You must bleed the fuel system before
starting the engine if you are starting the engine
for the first time, the engine has stopped due to
lack of fuel, or you have performed maintenance on
the fuel system; refer to Bleeding the Fuel System.
Starting the Engine
1. Sit on the seat, keep your foot off of the traction
pedal so that it is in Neutral, engage the parking
brake, set the throttle to the Fast position, and
ensure that the Enable/Disable switch is in the
Disable position.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the On/Preheat position.
An automatic timer will control the glow plug
preheat for 6 seconds.
3. After preheating the glow plugs, turn key to the
Start position.
Crank the engine for no longer than 15 seconds.
Release the key when the engine starts. If additional
preheating is required, turn key to the Off position
and then to the On/Preheat position. Repeat this
process as required.
4. Run the engine at low idle speed until it warms up.
Stopping the Engine
1. Move all controls to Neutral, set the parking brake,
move the throttle to the low idle position and allow
the engine to reach low idle speed.
Important: Allow the engine to idle for 5
minutes before shutting it off after a full load
operation. Failure to do so may lead to trouble
on a turbo-charged engine.
2. Turn the key to the Off position and remove it
from the switch.

Setting the Reel Speed

To achieve a consistent, high quality-of-cut and a
uniform after cut appearance, it is important that you
set the reel speed controls (located under the seat)
correctly. Adjust the reel speed controls as follows:
1. Select the height-of-cut at which the cutting units
are set.
2. Choose the desired ground speed best suited for
conditions.
3. Using the appropriate graph on decal 110–0996
(Figure 39) for Reelmaster 5510 & 5610, 7 inch
reel cutting units or decal 110–8923 (Figure 40) for
Reelmaster 5210 & 5410, 5 inch reel cutting units
determine the proper reel speed setting.
To set the reel speed, rotate knobs (Figure 38) until
the indicator arrows are in line with the number
designating the desired setting.
1. Reel speed control knobs
Note: The reel speed can be increased or decreased
to compensate for turf conditions.
