3.
Run the engine at idle speed or partial throttle until the engine
warms up.
4.
To stop, move all controls to NEUTRAL and set the parking
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 system.
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. ) 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 during 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 6500-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 properly set, by your distribu-
tor 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)
