Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service

CATCHER-FULL ALARM

ADJUSTMENT

There are two ways to adjust the “catcher full” alarm one for grass volume and one for sensitivity.

GRASS VOLUME ADJUSTMENT

Sliding the paddle bracket (C, Figure 30) up increases the volume of grass in the collector before the alarm goes off. Sliding the paddle bracket (C) down decreases the volume of grass in the collector before the alarm goes off.

1.Loosen bracket hardware (B).

2.Slide paddle bracket (C) up or down.

3.Tighten bracket hardware (B).

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

Sliding the carriage bolt, washer and nut (D) up decreas- es the sensitivity in the collector before the alarm goes off. Sliding the carriage bolt, washer and nut (D) down increases the sensitivity in the collector before the alarm goes off.

1.Loosen carriage bolt, washer and nut (D).

2.Slide carriage bolt, washer and nut (D) up or down the alarm paddle (A).

3.Tighten carriage bolt, washer and nut (D).

Note: It may be necessary to change the catcher-full alarm as turf conditions change.

MOWER LIFT ADJUSTMENT

The mower lift rod (A, Figure 31) can be inserted into two holes depending on the amount of mower lift desired. The upper hole provides higher mower lift when the attachment lift lever is placed in transport position. The lower hole will not lift the mower as high in transport position, but requires less lift effort.

BATTERY CHARGING

WARNING

Keep open flames and sparks away from the battery; the gasses coming from it are highly explosive. Ventilate the battery well during charging.

A dead battery or one too weak to start the engine may be the result of a defect in the charging system or other electrical component. If there is any doubt about the cause of the problem, see your dealer. If you need to replace the battery, follow the steps under Cleaning the Battery & Cables in the Regular Maintenance Section.
