Deck Shut Down Module - Ferris IS5100Z Series Operator's Manual

Deck Shut Down Module

This unit is equipped with a deck shut down module
that will automatically shut down the mower deck if the
engine looses oil pressure or begins to overheat.
What to do if the deck shuts down during
operation:
• Immediately check your dash panel to see if the
oil pressure indicator lamp (A, Figure 55) is lit or
the water temperature gauge (B) is reading a high
temperature.
If the oil pressure indicator lamp is lit:
• Shut the unit off immediately and see your dealer.
If the water temperature guage reads a high
temperature:
• Move the ground speed control levers to the
neutral position, disengage the PTO switch,
engage the parking brake and reduce to half
throttle speed. Leave the engine running so the
radiator fan will continue to run and coolant will
continue to circulate.
• Check the engine coolant level. See Check Engine
Coolant Level. Add coolant if necessary.
• Check to see if the radiator screen is dirty or
plugged. See Clean Radiator & Screen. Clean
radiator screen if necessary.
• If these procedures do not cause the engine to
begin to cool down, shut the unit off and see your
dealer.
After the Problem has been resolved
• The PTO switch must be disengaged before it can
be re-engaged.
