Clean around the fuel tank cap and remove the cap (Figure 10). • Fuel filter plugging may be expected for a time after converting to biodiesel blended. • Contact your distributor if you wish for more information on biodiesel.
Think Safety First Please read all safety instructions and symbols in the safety section. Knowing this information could help you or bystanders avoid injury. DANGER Operating on wet grass or steep slopes can cause sliding and loss of control. Wheels dropping over edges can cause rollovers, which may result in serious injury, death or drowning. Figure 11 Always use the seat belt when operating the machine. Read and follow the rollover protection instructions and warnings. 1.
Important: When engine is started for the first time, or after an engine oil change, or an overhaul of the engine, transmission, or wheel motor, operate the machine with the throttle lever in the Slow position in both the forward and reverse directions for one to two minutes. Also operate the lift lever and PTO lever to ensure proper operation of all parts. Then shut the engine off and check fluid levels, check for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other noticeable malfunctions.
1. If the engine is cold, allow the engine to warm up 5 to 10 minutes before engaging the PTO. CAUTION Children or bystanders may be injured if they attempt to move or operate the tractor while it is unattended. 2. While seated in the seat, make sure the traction pedal is in the neutral position and the engine is at full throttle. 3. Pull up on the PTO switch to engage it (Figure 15).
The Safety Interlock System Adjusting the Height-of-Cut The height-of-cut is adjusted from 2.5 to 15.8 cm (1 to 6 inches) in 6 mm (1/4 inch) increments by relocating the stop pin into different hole locations. CAUTION 2. To adjust, rotate the stop pin until the nub on it lines up with the slots in the holes in the height-of-cut bracket and remove it (Figure 16). If the safety interlock switches are disconnected or damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly causing personal injury.
Check the electrical connections, input fuses, and diagnostic light bulb to determine the malfunction. Ensure that the loop-back connector is secured to the wire harness connector. 5. Without an operator on the seat, disengage the parking brake, move the PTO switch to off, and allow the traction pedal to return to the neutral position. Try starting the engine; the engine should not crank.
The Diagnostic ACE will illuminate the LED associated with each of the inputs when that input switch is closed. 7. Individually, change each of the switches from open to closed (i.e., sit on seat, engage traction pedal, etc.), and note that the appropriate LED on Diagnostic ACE will blink on and off when corresponding switch is closed. Repeat this for all switches that you can change by hand. 8.
Changing the Seat Suspension If the output LEDs are on as specified, but the machine does not function properly, this indicates a non-electrical problem. Repair as necessary. The seat can be adjusted to provide a smooth and comfortable ride. Position the seat where you are most comfortable. Note: If each output switch is in the correct position and functioning correctly, but the output LEDs are not correctly illuminated, this indicates an ECM problem.
Positioning the Deluxe Seat 3. Verify that the seat has locked into place by attempting to move it back and forth. Note: Do not operate the locking lever while operating the machine. Changing the Lumbar Support The lumbar support increases both the seating comfort and the performance of the driver. The back of the seat can be adjusted to provide a customized lumbar support for your lower back. By turning the adjustment knob upwards, the curvature in the upper part of the backrest cushion can be adjusted.
Pushing the Machine by Hand By exerting pressure on or off the front or rear of the seat it can be moved to the desired position. Release the locking lever to lock the backrest. If the machine stalls, runs out of fuel, etc. you may need to push it. To do so, you first need to open both of the hydraulic by-pass valves. Note: The backrest should not be able to move the into another position after it has been locked.
Loading Machines Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks. One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead of individual ramps for each side of the unit (Figure 26). The lower rear section of the tractor frame extends back between the rear wheels and serves as a stop for tipping backward. Having a full width ramp provides a surface for the frame members to contact if the unit starts to tip backward.
Transporting the Machine WARNING Driving on the street or roadway without turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving vehicle emblem is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing personal injury. Do not drive machine on a public street or roadway without signs, lights, and/or markings required by local regulations. Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
