Blade Stopping Time

Cutting Decks: General Information
Never install or work on the cutting deck or lift arms with the engine
running. Always stop engine and remove ignition key first.
The Operator's Manual provides information regarding the operation, general
maintenance and maintenance intervals for your Groundsmaster. Refer to the
Operator's Manual for additional information when servicing the machine.
The blades of the cutting deck should come to a complete stop in approximately
five (5) seconds after the PTO switch is shut off.
Note: Make sure the decks are lowered onto a clean section of turf or hard
surface to avoid dust and debris.
To verify blade stopping time, have a second person stand back from the deck
at least twenty (20) feet (6.1 meters) and watch one of the cutting deck pulleys.
Have the operator shut the cutting deck off and record the time it takes for the
pulleys to come to a complete stop. If this stopping time is greater than seven (7)
seconds, the braking valve (RV) in the cutting deck control hydraulic manifold
may need adjustment (see
