Reel Motor Cross−over Relief Pressures Test (Using Pressure
Gauge)

Hydraulic System: Testing
Model 03171 (shown)
Note: One way to find a faulty reel motor is to have another person observe the
machine while mowing in dense turf. A faulty motor will typically run slower,
produce fewer clippings and may cause clip marks (a choppy appearance) on
the turf.
Note: Before testing the cutting reel motor cross−over relief pressure, make
sure that the reel motor is in good condition by performing the Cutting Reel
Motor Efficiency Test (see
Drain Test (page 5–43)).
1. Determine which cutting reel motor needs to be tested by observing the
machine during mowing.
2. Park machine on a level surface with the cutting units lowered and reel
engage switch OFF. Make sure engine is off and mow/transport lever is in
mow. Apply the parking brake.
3. Read Precautions for Hydraulic Testing (page
Before opening hydraulic system, operate all hydraulic controls to
relieve system pressure and avoid injury from pressurized hydraulic
oil. See Relieving Hydraulic System Pressure (page
