SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS ADD REAR BALLAST This unit complies with ANSI B Standard when equipped with rear ballast. Use chart below to determine weight or combinations of weights beaded. Cutting Unit Weight Required Configuration Fixed {no Calcium Chloride in rear carrier frame tire. Floating (with Calcium Chloride in rear carrier frame and | tire and rear weight, no baskets) Part No.
BEFORE OPERATING A CAUTION Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop engine and remove key from the switch. CHECK CRANKCASE OIL (Fig. 22) The Kohl er engine is shipped with 5—1/4 pints of oil in the crankcase; however, level of oil must be checked before and after the engine is first started. 1. Position machine on a level surface. 2. Remove dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag. Push dipstick down into dipstick tube and make sure it is seated fully.
BEFORE OPERATING CHECK HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID (Fig. 24) The hydraulic system is designed to operate with Mobil DTE 26 or equivalent anti—wear hydraulic fluid. The machine's reservoir is filled at the factory with approximately 3—1/2 gallons of fluid. However, check level of hydraulic fluid before engine is first started and daily thereafter.
KNOW YOUR CONTROLS Traction and Stopping Pedal (Fig. Traction pedal has three functions: one, to make the machine move forward, two, to move it backward and three, to stop machine. Using the heel and toe of the right foot, depress top of pedal to nave forward and bottom of pedal to move backward or to assist in stopping when moving forward. Also, allow pedal to nave or move it to neutral position to stop machine. For operator comfort, do not rest heel of foot on reverse when operating forward. Figure 27 1.
KNOW YOUR CONTROLS Cutting Unit Drive Switch (Fig. 29) — The switch has two positions: ENGAGE and DISENGAGE, Push—Pull switch engages electromagnetic clutch to drive cutting units. Amber fight on dash indicate when reels are rotating. Hour Meter (Fig. 29) — Indicates the total hours of machine operation. The Hour Meter starts to function whenever the key switch is rotated to “ON" position. Fuse Holder (Fig. Amp fuse protects the starter circuit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS STARTING/STOPPING ENGINE 1. Be sure parking brake is set and Reel Drive switch is in DISENGAGE position Note: After hand brake is released, run vehicle in opposite direction of resistance to fully release brake. 2. Remove foot from traction pedal and make sure pedal is in neutral position 3. Move choke fever to ON position —when starting a cold engine and throttle lever to half throttle position. 4. Insert key into ignition switch and rotate it clockwise to start the engine.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS TOWING TRACTION UNIT (Fig. 33) In case of emergency, the Reel master 216 can be towed for a short distance. However, Toto does not recommend this as a standard procedure. IMPORTANT: Do not tow the machine faster than 23 mph because drive system may be damaged. If machine must be moved a considerable distance, transport it on a truck or trailer. 1. Reach under front of machine and rotate by —pass valve on pump counterclockwise until it is fully open. Figure 33 1. By-pass valve 2.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Make sure cooling fins and area around engine cooling air intake are kept free of dirt or grass clippings. After cleaning, iris recommended the machine be inspected for possible hydraulic fluid leaks, damage or wear to hydraulic and mechanical components and the cutting units checked for sharpness and proper reel 1o penknife adjustment.
MAINTENANCE A\ caution Before servicing or making adjustments to the machine, stop engine and remove key from the switch, CHANGING CRANKCASE OIL (Fig. 42) For new engines, change oil after first 5 operating hours, Thereafter, under normal conditions, change ol after every 25 hours of engine operation. However, an engine operated in dusty or dirty conditions requires Moore frequent oil changes. If possible, run engine just before changing olt.
MAINTENANCE Inspect paper element every 50 hours of operation and replace when dirty or damaged. Do not wash paper element or do not clean with compressed air as damage will occur. Note: With air cleaner disassembled, check air cleaner components for damage. Replace i necessary. Make sure rubber breather tube in base plate is securely in place or severe engine damage may Occur. 8. Reinstall element with uncleaner, element cover seal, air cleaner element cover, nut, alr cleaner cover and lock nut. 6.
MAINTENANCE 3. Check condition of center and side electrodes to determine operating temperature of engine. A, Light brown insulator tip indicates correct spark plug and heat range. B. Black or oily insulator tip indicates an excessively rich fuel mixture, possibly caused by a dirty air cleaner element or a carburetor that is set o0 rich. C. light gray or blistered—white insulator indicates overheating caused by a lean carburetor setting or incorrect spark plug (heat range oo high). Figure 46 1.
MAINTENANCE 3. Loosen the hose clamps at both ends of the filter and pull fuel fines off filter, 4. Slide hose clamps onto ends of fuel lings. Push fuel lines onto fuel filter and secure them with hose clamps. Be sure arrow on side of filter points toward the carburetor. ADJUSTING TRANSMISSION FOR NEUTRAL (Fig. 48) If the machine “creeps” when the traction control pedal is in the neutral position, the spring leaf assembly must be adjusted. 1.
MAINTENANCE ADJUSTING TRACTION PEDAL (Fig. 51-52) If traction pedal contacts footrest when pushed fully forward or maximum forward traction speed is unattainable, an adjustment to the traction pedal linkage is required. There should be 3/4 inch clearance between pedal shaft and footrest when pedal is pushed fully forward. 1. Remove {3) self tapping sowers securing support screen to hydraulic support panel. Remove screen. Figure 51 1. Support serene 2. Loosen jam nuts on each end of traction rod Figure 52 1.
MAINTENANCE BATTERY CARE 1. Battery electrolyte level must be properly maintained and the top of the battery kept clean. If the machine is stored in a location where temperatures are extremely high, the battery will run down more rapidly than if the machine is stored in a location where temperatures are cool. 2. Check the electrolyte level every 25 operating hours or, if machine is in storage, every 30 days. 3. Maintain cell level with distilled or decriminalized water.
