CAUTION
Never install or work on the cutting decks or lift
arms with the engine running. Always stop en-
gine and remove key from ignition switch first.
See the Cutting Deck Operator's Manual for adjustment
procedures for cutting decks on the Groundsmaster
3500.

Blade Stopping Time

The blades of the cutting decks are to come to a com-
plete stop in approximately five (5) seconds after the
PTO is disengaged.
NOTE: Make sure the decks are lowered onto a clean
section of turf or hard surface to avoid dust and debris.
To verify this stopping time, have a second person stand
back from the machine at least twenty (20) feet and
watch the blade on one of the cutting decks. Have the
machine operator disengage the PTO and record the
time it takes for the cutting deck blade to come to a com-
plete stop. If this time is greater than seven (7) seconds,
adjust the blade braking valve (BV) on units prior to Seri-
al No. 314000001 or the blade braking relief valve (RV)
on units Serial No. 314000001 & Up (see Chapter 5 −
Hydraulic System in this manual).
