ACCESSORY
TURF PROTECTION SYSTEM
(electronic leak detector)
If the Turf Protection System (TPS) has been
installed, it will need to be recalibrated if
the oil level has been changed (refer to the
TPS instructions that came with the
accessory).
NOTICE
• You will need to re–calibrate the Turf
Protection System before each days use,
for the first five days of operation.
• To avoid damage to the hydraulic system,
repair any leaks and refill the system
immediately.
DO NOT substitute any other type of fluid
•
except for those listed on Page 14, in the
Hydraulic Oil Section of this manual.
DO NOT over fill the hydraulic system.
•
• Clean debris from the hydraulic oil cooler
fins daily to prevent overheating.
FILLING COOLANT SYSTEM
(DIESEL ONLY)
NOTICE
• Failure to follow the recommended
procedure for filling the cooling system will
cause engine overheating and possible
engine failure.
ALWAYS check coolant level in the
•
radiator. The correct level of coolant in
the over flow tank does NOT assure the
radiator is full.
• It is extremely important that when
antifreeze is used, that it be mixed with
water in a separate container before
adding. NEVER add straight antifreeze to
the radiator. The mixture must NEVER be
more than 50% antifreeze. Refer to engine
operator's manual.
Add coolant to the radiator until it is up to the bottom
of the filler port. DO NOT install cap.
If the block has been drained, start and run the
engine until the coolant level in the radiator drops.
Stop engine.
Add coolant to the bottom of the filler port again.
Install radiator pressure cap. Add coolant to the
proper line on the over flow tank.
AIR CLEANER
Diesel Engines: use a large capacity dry type air
cleaner with a replaceable paper element.

SAFETY AND OPERATORS MANUAL
IMPORTANT!
WE RECOMMEND THAT THE FILTER ELEMENT
BE REPLACED BEFORE ENGINE
PERFORMANCE IS AFFECTED. THIS MAY
OCCUR AT 250 HOURS OF SERVICE UNDER
VERY DUSTY CONDITIONS OR AT 500 HOURS
UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND CLEANING THE
FILTER ELEMENT BECAUSE OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING IT.
CHECKING THE ELEMENT
To check for damage, pin holes, etc. shine a light
source into the end of the element. If light CANNOT
be seen through the paper, a new element should
be installed. Likewise, if pinholes of bright light
appear in the paper, the element should be
replaced.
INSTALLING ELEMENT
1. Clean the dust from inside the filter
housing with a damp cloth. Make sure that
dust does not enter the engine air intake.
2. Check the soft gasket material at both
ends of the element to be sure it is not
damaged.
3. Insert the open end of the element into the
housing and press it onto the air intake
pipe at the back of the housing. Make sure
the filter element fits over the pipe snugly
and is pushed all the way on to prevent
any dust from getting past the filter.
4. Install the air cleaner cover over the
element with the dust collector pointing
DOWN (dust collector empties
automatically when properly installed).
Secure the cover with the two wire bails
(See Fig. 29).
