SAFETY 3 3.1 HOW TO OPERATE SAFELY ___________________________________________________ WARNING EQUIPMENT OPERATED INCORRECTLY OR WITHOUT TRAINING CAN BE DANGEROUS. Know the location and correct operation of controls. Operators without experience must receive instruction from another person that knows the correct operation of the equipment before you operate the mower. Only use parts, accessories and attachments approved by Ransomes Jacobsen.
3 SAFETY 3.1.3 Operation Never operate the engine without enough ventilation or in an enclosed area. The carbon monoxide in the exhaust fumes can increase to dangerous levels. Never carry passengers. Keep other persons or animals away from the mower. Disengage all drives and engage the parking brake before you start the engine.
SAFETY 3 3.1.4 ROPS The ROPS is a safety device. Keep the ROPS in the vertical and locked position. Always use the seat belt when you operate the mower. Make sure the seat belt can be released quickly in an emergency. The ROPS should only be folded if absolutely necessary for storage or when working on flat ground under low obstructions.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 ENGINE LUBRICATION _________________________________________________ Check Engine Oil Level Check the engine oil level before you start or at least five minutes after you stop the engine. Park the machine on level ground, remove the dipstick (A), clean with a cloth and replace in position.
Page 70
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.5 ENGINE COOLANT ______________________________________________________ WARNING To prevent injury from the hot-engine coolant or steam, never remove the radiator cap with the engine in operation. Stop the engine and wait until the radiator is cool. When radiator is cool, use caution to remove the radiator cap.
Page 71
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 Check The Engine Coolant Level The level of coolant in a cold expansion tank must be between the indicators. If you need to fill the tank, remove the plastic cap and fill with the correct anti-freeze mixture (see section 8.1). Replace the plastic cap.
Page 72
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION HYDRAULIC SYSTEM __________________________________________________ To fill the hydraulic tank with hydraulic oil. Remove the filler cap (A) Using a 25 micron filter fill the tank with the correct hydraulic oil to the correct level. Replace the hydraulic tank cap (A) CAUTION The Hydraulic Oil Can Damage Your Skin.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 FUEL SYSTEM ________________________________________________________ Use Diesel to B.S. EN590 or ASTM D975 (Ultra Low Sulfur) Water Separator If the water is not removed from the fuel, damage to the fuel-injection system can occur. At a service interval, drain the water from the water separator. Stop the engine.
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION AIR CLEANER ________________________________________________________ Check the service indicator each day. If the red band become visible in the window, replace the filter elements. Do not remove the elements to inspect or clean. Removal of the filter that is not necessary increases the risk of dust and other particles to enter the engine.
Page 75
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 8.10 BATTERY ____________________________________________________________ Before you service the battery, make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position and the key is removed. CAUTION When you service the battery, always use the tools with insulation, wear protective glasses and protective clothing.
Page 76
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.11 CHARGE THE BATTERY _____________________________________________________ WARNING Charge the battery in an area with good airflow. The battery can release hydrogen gas that is explosive. To prevent an explosion, keep any device that can cause sparks or flames away from the battery.
Page 77
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 8.13 DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER __________________________________________ During the operation of the mower, the level of particle material will increase in the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system. The periodic Regen of the DPF system is needed to remove particle material. During an Active or Parked Regen, the engine will use more fuel.
Page 78
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.14 HYDRAULIC HOSES _________________________________________________________ WARNING To prevent injury from the hot, high pressure oil, never use your hands to check for oil leaks. Use the paper or cardboard to find leaks. The hydraulic fluid pressure can have enough force to enter your skin. If hydraulic fluid has entered your skin, a doctor must remove the hydraulic fluid surgically within a few hours or gangrene can occur.
Page 79
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 8.15 TYRES ______________________________________________________________ Keep the tyres correctly inflated to increase tyre life. Inspect the tread wear. Check the tyre pressure each day, while the tyres are cool. Use an accurate low-pressure tyre gauge. Keep tyres inflated at the correct pressure (see section 8.1) CAUTION DO NOT try to put a tyre on a rim unless you have the correct training, tools and experience.
Page 80
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.17 BLADE CHANGE ______________________________________________________ Front Cutter Deck Raise the deck so it is just off the ground. This will allow the setting pin D to lift clear of the arm and be easier to remove. Remove the pins at position D on both sides of the machine which lock the deck in its working position.
Page 81
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 8.18 INSPECTING BLADES _________________________________________________ Inspected the blade in accordance with the maintenance chart or when the cutting unit is removed from the mower, carefully inspect the blades to make sure the blades are in good condition. Replace any blade that has bends, grooves or cracks.

Page 90
10 QUALITY OF CUT 10.3 SCALPING ___________________________________________________________ “Scalping” is a condition in which some areas are cut shorter than the set height of cut. This results in very short grass or brown areas. The cause is a low height-of-cut (HOC) setting, rough surface. TN0222 NOTE: The Arrow indicates direction of travel.
Page 91
QUALITY OF CUT 10 10.4 STRAGGLERS _________________________________________________________ “Stragglers” are separated blades of not cut or incor- rectly cut grass. TN0223 NOTE: The Arrow indicates direction of travel. Possible Cause Correction The cutting blade is blunt Sharpen or replace the blade. Cutting at more than the recommended speed.
Page 92
10 QUALITY OF CUT 10.5 STREAKS ____________________________________________________________ A streak is a strip of longer grass in the cutting area. The cause is a damaged blade or you turn quickly when you mow. TN0224 NOTE: The Arrow indicates direction of travel. Possible Cause Correction Damaged blade.
QUALITY OF CUT 10 10.6 WINDROWING _________________________________________________________ “Windrowing” is a increase of cut grass in the corner of the cutting units or between the cutting units, that leaves lines in the direction of travel. NOTE: The Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Grass is too tall.
