Knowing this information could help you or bystanders avoid injury.
DANGER In certain conditions, gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and can damage property. • Fill the fuel tank outdoors, in an open area, when the engine is cold. Wipe up any gasoline that spills. • Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. With the machine level, add gasoline to the fuel tank until level with the top flange of the plastic insert. This empty space in the tank is necessary to allow gasoline to expand.
Stopping the Engine 1. Move the traction and reel drive controls to the Disengaged position, the throttle control to Slow, and the on/off switch to Off. 2. Pull the molded spark plug wire off of the spark plug to prevent the possibility of accidental starting before storing the machine. 3. Close the fuel shut-off valve before storing or transporting the mower in a vehicle.
magnified in the appearance of the clipped turf. Remove all foreign objects from the turf prior to mowing. Make sure everyone, especially children and pets, are clear of the work area. Method of Mowing The greens should be mowed in a straight back and forth direction across the green. Avoid circular mowing or turning the mower on the greens areas since scuffing may occur. Turning the mower should be done off the green by raising the cutting reel (pushing the handle down) and turning on the traction drum.
Adjusting the Traction Control, or Adjusting the Reel Control. CAUTION If safety interlock switches are disconnected or damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly causing personal injury. 6. With the OPC depressed and the shift lever moved to the left to engage the traction and reel drive, move the shift lever to the right to disengage the reel drive (Figure 27). The reel drive should disengage. If the traction lever does not disengage, the interlock system needs service.
1. On the right rear corner of the machine, locate the traction engage/disengage lever next to the drive housing drum (Figure 28). Figure 28 1. Traction engage/disengage lever-engaged 2. Traction engage/disengage lever-disengaged 2. Rotate the lever rearward to disengage the transmission from the drum. Important: Make sure to push the lever from the front to prevent your hand from being struck by the spring loaded lever. 3. Move the machine as needed Important: If possible, do not tow the machine.
Setting the Machine to Match Turf Conditions Use the following table to set the machine to match turf conditions.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Important: When using the unit in conjunction with the Trans Pro 80, always use the stops on the trailer when servicing the machine. Over tipping can result in fuel spillage. The stop on the Rail Ramp Kit requires a broom handle or similar item to be inserted through the holes behind the wheels.
Daily Maintenance Checklist Important: Duplicate this page for routine use. Maintenance Check Item For the week of: Mon. Tues. Wed. Thurs. Fri. Check the safety interlock operation. Check the parking brake operation. Check that pivot joints operate freely. Check the fuel level. Check the engine oil level. Check the air filter. Clean the engine cooling fins. Check for unusual engine noises. Check for unusual operating noises. Check the reel-to-bedknife adjustment. Check the height-of-cut adjustment.
Engine Maintenance Servicing the Engine Oil The crankcase must be filled with approximately 20 fluid ounces (.6 l) of the proper viscosity oil before staring. The engine uses any high-quality oil having the American Petroleum Institute - APl - “service classification" SE or higher. Oil viscosity - weight - must be selected according to ambient temperature. Figure 29 illustrates the temperature/viscosity recommendations. 1 2 g018270 Figure 30 1. Oil level gauge 2. Drain plug 3.
Servicing the Air Cleaner Service Interval: Every 50 hours 1. Make sure the wire is off the spark plug. 2. Remove the wing nut securing the air cleaner cover to the air cleaner and remove the cover. Clean the cover thoroughly (Figure 32 and Figure 33). 1 g018271 Figure 32 1. Air cleaner cover Figure 33 3. If the foam element is dirty, remove it from the paper element (Figure 33). Clean it thoroughly. A. Wash the foam element in a solution of liquid soap and warm water.
Fuel System Maintenance 1 Cleaning the Fuel Cup and Screen Service Interval: After the first 20 hours Every 100 hours/Monthly (whichever comes first) 1. Close the fuel shut off valve and unscrew the fuel cup from the filter body (Figure 36). g018272 Figure 34 1. Spark plug wire 2. Clean around the spark plug and remove the plug from the cylinder head. Important: Replace a cracked, fouled, or dirty spark plug.
Replacing the Fuel Line Electrical System Maintenance Service Interval: Every 1,000 hours Replace the fuel line after every 1000 hours. If fuel leaks from the line, replace it immediately. Servicing the Traction Interlock Switch Use the following procedure if the switch needs adjustment or replacement. 1. Make sure the engine is off. 2. Remove the control panel. 3. Engage the traction lever. Figure 38 1. Traction lever 2. Interlock switch 4. Loosen the interlock switch mounting fasteners (Figure 38).
Brake Maintenance 3 Adjusting the Service/Parking Brake If the service/parking brake slips when operated, an adjustment to the cable is required. 1. Move the service/parking brake lever to the Off position. 2. Remove the control panel. 3. To increase the cable tension, loosen the upper cable jam nut and tighten the lower cable jam nut (Figure 40) until a force of 35 lb. (156 N) applied to the brake lever handle, is required to release the parking brake latch. Do not over adjust, or the brake band may drag.
Belt Maintenance D. Make sure the compression spring is applying the proper tension on the belt. E. Tighten the bearing housing mounting nut. Inspecting the Reel Drive Belt F. Install the belt cover. Service Interval: Every 1,000 hours Make sure the reel drive belt is properly tensioned to assure proper operation of the machine and unnecessary wear. Check belt frequently. Transmission Cover Access Hole 1.
Controls System Maintenance Adjusting the Traction Control If the traction control does not engage or it slips during operation, an adjustment is required. 1. Move the traction control to the Disengaged position. 2. Check to see if there is any slack in the traction control cable at the extension spring (Figure 45). If slack exists, adjust the jam nuts at the bulkhead (Figure 46) to remove the slack from the cable without extending the spring. Figure 46 1. Clevis pin & cotter pin 3. Jam nuts 2.
Storage 1. Remove any grass clippings, dirt, and grime from the external parts of the entire machine, especially the engine. Clean the dirt and chaff from the outside of the engine's cylinder head fins and the blower housing. Important: You can wash the machine with mild detergent and water. Do not pressure wash the machine. Avoid excessive use of water, especially near the shift lever plate, and the engine. 2.
