Priming Fuel System; Automatic Clip Control - Toro REELMASTER 6700-D Operator's Manual

4. To stop, move all controls to NEUTRAL and set the park-
ing brake. Return the throttle to the idle position, turn the
key to OFF and remove it from the switch.
PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM
(Fig. 15 & 16
IMPORTANT: The fuel system may need to be primed
when a new engine is started for the first time, if it runs
out of fuel or if maintenance is performed on the fuel sys-
tem.
1. Unlatch and raise the hood.
2. Insert a 3/16" hose over the bleed screw and run the other
end into a container to catch the fuel.
3. Loosen the fuel filter/water separator bleed screw (Fig.
15) a few turns. Pump the priming plunger until a steady
stream of fuel comes out of the hole in the bleed screw.
When the fuel stops foaming, tighten the bleed screw dur-
ing the downstroke of the priming plunger. Wipe up any
spilled fuel.
4. Pump the priming plunger until you feel resistance. Try to
start the engine. If the engine does not start, repeat step 3.
Note: It may be necessary to bleed the air out of the fuel line
between the fuel filter/water separator and the injection pump.
To do this, loosen the fitting on the injection pump (Fig. 16)
and repeat the bleeding procedure.

AUTOMATIC CLIP CONTROL

The RM 6700-D is equipped with an electronic controller
which is programmed to achieve automatic clip control. The
machine will automatically adjust the reel speed to attain the
desired clip as the traction speed changes. For the controller to
know what clip is desired, the software must have been prop-
erly set, by your distributor or dealer, to either 5 or 11 blade
and the height-of-cut selector knob must be properly set.
The range of possible reel speeds is a minimum of about 500
RPM and a maximum of about 1400 RPM. As long as the
desired clip requires a reel speed within this range, the
machine will maintain the desired clip. If the traction speed is
too slow or too fast to allow the desired clip, the reel control
light (on the front control panel) will illuminate, warning that
the desired clip is not being maintained. For example, if the
traction speed is zero, the reels will still run at the minimum
speed of about 500 RPM, which will result in a clip smaller
than desired and cause the reel control light to illuminate. The
