Deck Shut Down Module

This unit is equipped with a deck shut down module that will
automatically shut down the mower deck if the engine looses
oil pressure or begins to overheat.
What to do if the deck shuts down during operation:
• Immediately check your dash panel to see if the oil pressure
indicator lamp (A, Figure 31) is lit or the water temperature
gauge (B) is reading a high temperature.

If the oil pressure indicator lamp is lit:
• Shut the unit off immediately and see your dealer.
If the water temperature guage reads a high temperature:
• Move the ground speed control levers to the neutral position,
disengage the PTO switch, engage the parking brake and
reduce to half throttle speed. Leave the engine running so
the radiator fan will continue to run and coolant will continue
to circulate.
• Check the engine coolant level. See Check Engine Coolant
Level . Add coolant if necessary.
• Check to see if the radiator screen is dirty or plugged. See
Clean Radiator & Screen . Clean radiator screen if
necessary.
• If these procedures do not cause the engine to begin to
cool down, shut the unit off and see your dealer.
After the Problem has been resolved:
• The PTO switch must be disengaged before it can be
re-engaged.
