Note: Normally, the engine should start after the above
bleeding procedures. However, if the engine does not
start, air may be trapped between the injection pump and
the injectors; refer to Bleeding Air From The Injectors.
CHECK OPERATION OF THE
INTERLOCK SWITCHES
CAUTION
Do not disconnect the safety switches because they
are for the operator's protection. Check switch
operation daily to be sure the interlock system is
operating correctly. If a switch is not operating
correctly, replace it before operating the machine.
Replace the switches every two years to be sure of
maximum safety.
1. Make sure all bystanders are away from the area of
operation. Keep your hands and feet away from the
cutting units.
2. With the operator on the seat, the engine must not
start with either the reel switch engaged or the
traction pedal engaged. Correct problem if not
operating properly.
3. With the operator on the seat, the traction pedal in
neutral, the parking brake off and the reel switch in
the OFF position, the engine should start. Rise
from the seat and slowly depress the traction pedal;
the engine should stop in one to three seconds.
Correct the problem if this does not happen.
4. With the operator on the seat, the engine running,
the reel transport slide in mow and the reel switch
in the ON position, lower the cutting units. The
reels should come on. Pull back on the lift lever, the
reels should stop when fully raised. Correct the
problem if this does not happen.
