Moving tractor with stalled engine

If it becomes necessary to move the tractor when the engine is inoperative, the hydraulic pumps are equipped with bypass valves. Before moving the unit, turn bypass valves counter clockwise one-half to one revolution. The valve stems on each hydraulic pump are located near the top and are identified as a hex stud. The valve is located per Figure 3-7, 3-8 & 3-9.

The steering control levers must be placed in the neutral position, to release the park brakes, so that the tractor can be moved.

Do not tow the machine. Move it by hand or use a winch to load on a trailer for transporting.

When transporting on another vehicle, the tractor should be facing forward and it must be secured.

ROPS

IMPORTANT: Always make certain the two bypass valves are returned to their operating position before running the tractor following repairs. (Fig. 3-6, 3-7 & 3-8)

ROPS

(Roll Over Protective Structure)

NOTE: Inspect the ROPS after the first 20 hours of operation. Following the initial inspection, check the ROPS after every 500 hours of operation or every six months, whichever comes first. Fig. 3.10

1.Check the torque of the ROPS mounting bolts. Tighten the bolts to the correct torques as shown below if necessary. Fig. 3-11, 3-12 & 3-13

2.Inspect the operator’s seat and the mounting parts for the seat belt. Tighten the bolts to the correct torque as shown below if necessary and replace parts that show wear or damage.

Torque values are given below:

The two-post ROPS can be pivoted down so that the machine can operate under low hanging tree limbs or other obstructions. Do not wear the seat belt when the ROPS is in the lowered position. Fig. 3-10

Always fasten seat belt during operation of the machine (mower equipped with ROPS in “raised/up” position).

Inspect the area to be mowed for proper overhead clearance (tree limbs, guy wires, doorways, etc)

Do not contact any overhead object with the ROPS.

Inspect the seat belt system (all seat, seat belt parts, seat pan and seat pan latch) daily prior to mowing for signs of any damage. These parts should be replaced if any parts indicate signs of:

1.cuts

2.fraying

3.extreme or unusual wear

4.significant discoloration due to UV exposure
