FUSES AND SHORTS
There are 5 fuses on the D18/50 tractor. The 20Amp (yellow) charging circuit, the mid positioned 20Amp (yellow) lights, ignition and safety switches. The 20Amp (yellow) electric lift for cutter deck and auxiliary lift. The forth 20Amp fuse is connected in line for the net emptying system.
To check – remove fuse and check small window, there should be an unbroken metal strip bridging the gap (fig 2).
Note – If the 20Amp (centre) fuse blows when the ignition key is turned this means there is a short between the red and blue coloured wire and the body of the tractor. The usual places to investigate are:
•The electrical PTO and socket.
•Seat switch wires.
•The brake micro switch.
If fuses blow after these areas have been checked call your dealer.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
There are 2x10Amp Barrel fuses on the circuit board (fig 3) which can be reached by removing the cover (fig 1). These two fuses control lights and the Electromagnetic Blade Clutch. If the problem is not a fuse and you cannot see any loose connections – call your dealer.
ELECTROMAGNETIC BLADE CLUTCH
If the blade clutch disengages without being switched off these are the possible causes:
•You have got off the seat – the safety switch will disengage the cutter.
•The battery has lost charge and will not longer hold the clutch in operation.
•Fuse blown on printed circuit board – see fig 3.
•Faulty safety switch or break in wire – see your dealer.
-Please Note-
Countax recommends that any electrical problems you may have with your tractor be dealtiwith by your supplying dealer. If owners choose to undertake
service work themselves they do so at their own risk. Countax accepts NO responsibility for any damage
thus caused whether or not the instructions have been misunderstood
