Trouble Shooting; Mower Tracks Left Or Right; Mower Cuts Unevenly; Engine Will Not Start - Exmark Turf Tracer Operator's Manual

Federal law states that batteries should not be placed in the garbage. Management
and disposal practices must be within relevant federal, state, or local laws.
If a battery is being replaced or if the unit containing the battery is no longer
operating and is being scrapped, take the battery to a local certified recycling center.
If no local recycling is available return the battery to any certified battery reseller.

7. TROUBLE SHOOTING

7.1 MOWER TRACKS TO LEFT OR RIGHT.
a) Check the drive tire pressures and tire circumferences. See 5.1.12.
b) Turn knob on the right hydro control linkage in the direction that the mower
needs to be adjusted to. Turn the knob in 1/4 turn increments until the mower
tracks correctly.

7.2 MOWER CUTS UNEVENLY.

a) Check the drive tire pressures and tire circumferences. See 5.1.12. A more
uniform cutting height may be obtained with higher tire pressure on rough
terrain. A lower tire pressure provides more flotation.
b) Check deck support pins. Hairpin clips must be in the same hole position on
each support pin. See Section 5.2.1.
c) Check deck support alignment and check mounting brackets to be sure all bolts
are tight.
d) Check blades tip to tip for straightness. (They should be within 3/16", or one
blade width from being in line.)

7.3 ENGINE WILL NOT START.

a) Make sure battery has a full charge.
b) Check that the throttle control is midway between "slow" and "fast" positions, and
choke is in "on" position for a cold engine or "off" position for a warm engine.
c) Make sure the speed control lever is in the "true neutral" position. See Section
5.2.5.
d) Check that the PTO is disengaged.
e) Make sure the "OPC" levers are depressed.
f) Check that there is fuel in the tank and that the fuel valve is open.
g) Check that the spark plug wires are properly connected.
h) Check for loose or faulty wiring connections. If it is necessary to disconnect
wire connectors, Do Not pull on the wires.
i) Check for corrosion at all wiring connections. Even minor corrosion may cause
a faulty connection. Clean connector terminals thoroughly, apply dielectric
grease and reconnect.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that all operator safety mechanisms be connected
and in proper operating condition prior to mower use.
NOTE: After carefully checking the above steps, attempt to start the engine. If it
does not start, contact your authorized Exmark service dealer.
When a problem occurs, do not overlook the simple causes. For example, starting
problems could be caused by an empty fuel tank. The following tables list some of
the common causes of trouble. Do not attempt to service or replace major items or
any items that call for special timing or adjustment procedures (such as valves,
governor, etc.). Have this work done by your Engine Service Dealer.
