Section 1: Assembly &
Momentary Push Button Switches
Cycle “ARM 1”, “ARM 2”, and “DECK” cylinders to ensure they operate properly as follows:
1.If included, make sure Float Switch is set to “OFF” and LED light is “OFF”.
Refer to Figure 1-15 & Figure 1-16 on page 20:
2.Read and understand “Transport Safety Chain” on page 20 before continuing.
3.Remove transport safety chain from the latched position and place loose end on storage hook.
4.Start tractor and adjust
5.Two hoses from the solenoid control valve were connected to the tractor’s single duplex outlet in step 2 on page 17. Lock the control lever for this duplex outlet in either the “Extend Position” or the “Retract Position”.
Refer to Figure
6.Press and hold “ARM 1 OUT” push button switch. The inboard parallel arm should extend outward. If it does not move, or moves in the wrong direction (retracts), you should do one of the following:
a.Change the position of the console lever from automatic retract to automatic extend or
b.Reverse the hoses at the duplex outlet.
7.Press and hold “ARM 2 OUT” push button switch. The outboard parallel arm should extend.
8.Press and hold “DECK DOWN” switch. The deck cylinder should extend and deck should pivot down.
NOTE: Cycle all three cylinders to full extension and retraction to remove any air that might be trapped in the system.
9.Check hydraulic fluid level in your tractor's reservoir. If low, add fluid to the system before proceeding. The cylinders and hoses will require approximately
1 3/4 gallons from the tractor.
Float Switch Control
Gauge wheels must be installed before checking Float Switch operation. Install gauge wheels per instructions on page 24 titled “Gauge Wheel Model
Make this functional check with “ARM 1” and “ARM 2” approximately 3/4 extended and with the cutter deck resting on its gauge wheels.
1.Operate “ARM 1 OUT”, “ARM 2 OUT” and “DECK DOWN” push button switches to extend the arms and to lower the deck to ground level.
2.Change Float Switch from “OFF” to “ON”. LED light should be illuminated when Float switch is “ON”.
IMPORTANT: Do Not push “DECK” and “ARM 2” switches for more than two seconds before releasing them when Float Switch is turned to “ON”.
3.Press and hold “DECK UP” push button switch for under two seconds. The deck cylinder should retract pivoting the deck up. Release “DECK Up” switch and deck should fall back onto its gauge wheels.
4.Press and hold “ARM 2 OUT” push button switch for under two seconds. “ARM 2” should extend raising the deck up. Release switch and the deck should fall back onto its gauge wheels.
5.For safety, return Float Switch to “OFF”. LED light should be out (not illuminated).
