2. Check hydraulic reservoir and if necessary fill the
reservoir to the appropriate level with Mobil 1
15W-50 synthetic motor oil.
3. Replace hydraulic reservoir cap and tighten until
snug. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: The baffle is labeled "HOT" and "COLD".
The oil level varies with the temperature of the oil.
The "HOT" level shows the level of oil when it is at
225°F (107°C). The "COLD" level shows the level of
the oil when it is at 75°F (24°C). Fill to the
appropriate level depending upon the temperature of
the oil. For example: If the oil is about 150° F (65°C).
Fill to halfway between the "HOT" and "COLD" levels.
If the oil is at room temperature (about 75° F (24°C)),
fill only to the "COLD" level.
Checking Unit Tracking
Operate unit with both drive levers pushed to the full
forward position. Verify that the unit tracks in a straight
line. If not, adjust motion control linkages to correct
tracking as described in Operator's Manual Adjustment
Section 4.2.5.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
Operating a FrontRunner tractor without an
approved Exmark front mount attachment
increases the possibility of forward tip over.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
Tip-over could cause serious injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
When operating a FrontRunner tractor without
an approved Exmark front mount attachment,
observe the following:
Limit operation to minimum required to
install a different front mount attachment.
Minimize speed and use extreme caution.
Only operate on a flat level surface.
Do not operate up or down a trailer ramp.
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.
Checking Safety Interlock System
1. Check starting circuit. The starter should crank
with the parking brake engaged, PTO
disengaged, the operator in the seat, and motion
control levers moved out in the neutral lock
position.
Disengage parking brake. The starter must not
crank.
Engage parking brake and engage PTO. The
starter must not crank.
Disengage parking brake and move each drive
lever in separately. Starter must not crank. Move
both drive levers in. Starter must not crank.
2. Check the kill circuits. Run engine at one-third
throttle, disengage parking brake and raise off of
seat (but do not get off of machine) engine must
stop after approx. 1/2 second has elapsed.
Run engine at one-third throttle, engage PTO
and raise off of seat (but do not get off of
machine) engine must stop after 1/2 second has
elapsed.
Run engine at one-third throttle, with brake
disengaged, move levers in and raise off seat
(but do not get off of machine) engine must stop
after 1/2 second has elapsed.
Run engine at one-third throttle, with brake
engaged, move left motion control lever in -
engine must stop.
Repeat moving the right lever in, then moving
both levers in - engine must stop whether
operator is on seat or not.
3. Check the PTO circuit: Open the folding deck
latches, disengage the park brake, move the
motion control levers in to neutral, and
disengage the PTO. Lower the deck until the
PTO switch arm is no longer depressing the
PTO "kill" switch. See Figure 4.
FIGURE 4
Run the engine at half throttle and pull up on the
PTO engagement switch.
The PTO must not engage.
NOTE: If machine does not pass any of these
tests, diagnose and repair any malfunctions
before final delivery to customer.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that operator safety
mechanisms be connected and in proper
operating condition prior to use for mowing.
