• Refer to the Engine manual for specified maintenance intervals. If the injection pump, injectors or the fuel system need service, contact your Ransomes Jacobsen Dealer. NOTICE The mower operates and cuts correctly at the preset governor setting. Do not change the engine governor setting or over speed the engine.
Page 83
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.
Replace the clamps and hoses (see maintenance chart). Have your Ransomes Jacobsen Dealer check the cooling system if you need to add coolant more than one time a month or you add more than a litre of coolant at a time.
Page 85
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.
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION HYDRAULIC SYSTEM __________________________________________________ Drain and replace the hydraulic oil if one of the following occur. • Component failure • Water or foam is in the hydraulic fluid • The hydraulic fluid has a rancid odor (indication of high heat) •...
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 HYDRAULIC FILTER ___________________________________________________ The hydraulic system is protected by two 10 micron filters. Flow through the filter is monitored while you operate the mower. When the difference in hydraulic pressure across the filter is greater than 16 to 20 psi (1.1 to 1.4 BAR), the hydraulic oil filter warning light on the combination gauge will illuminate.
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION HYDRAULIC TEST PORTS ______________________________________________ If you have any problems with the hydraulic system, check the hydraulic pressures with the service ports that are supplied. All tests must be done with the hydraulic oil at the normal temperature of the engine, unless specified at a different temperature.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 FUEL________________________________________________________________ Diesel fuel is flammable. Use caution when you add the fuel to the mower. Only use an approved container. The spout on the container must fit inside the fuel filler neck. Never use the containers that are not approved to keep or transfer fuel.
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.10 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. When the fuel filter light on the filter light module is illuminated or at service interval, drain the water from the water separator.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 8.11 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.
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.12 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.

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.
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.15 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.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 8.16 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.
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.17 WHEEL ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE _______________________________________ 1. Park machine on a flat and level surface, turn the steering wheel so that the steering ram shafts are equal on both sides of the ram (Dimensions ‘C’ and ‘D’ below). ...
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 7. Take a measurement between the front of the left-hand and right-hand alignment tool plates and compare this with the measurement between the rear of the alignment tool plates. 8. The measurements should be equal between the front and the rear of the alignment tool plates, i.e. there is a 0 mm toe-in.
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.19 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.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8 8.21 BLADE CHANGE Front Cutter Deck Raise the deck to the cross cut position. 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.
8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 8.22 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.
This instruction is given to meet: The machinery directive, 2006/42/EC sections 3.2.2, seating & 3.4.3, rollover. Ransomes Jacobsen Limited. recommend that the owner operator of the machine complete a local risk assessment on the machine to find any conditions that do not follow this rule.
