Safety Checks

Burnish PTO ClutchWARNING

Disengage the PTO, stop the engine, set the parking brake, and wait for moving parts to stop before leaving operator's position for any reason.

If the unit does not pass the test, do not operate it. Under no circumstance should you attempt to defeat the purpose of the safety system.

Burnish PTO Clutch

1.Select a safe area to operate the mower deck. With the ground speed control levers in the neutral position, the parking brake engaged, the PTO switch disengaged, and an operator in the seat, start the tractor engine. Run the engine at full throttle.

2.Engage the PTO switch and run the deck for fifteen seconds. Disengage the PTO switch and wait for the mower drive belt to stop.

3.Repeat step 2 above ten times, and then re-check the mower blade stopping time. (Stopping time must be five seconds or less.)

Functional Tests

1.Check for loose bolts, screws, nuts, etc.

2.Start the engine and check all controls for proper operation: ground speed control levers, parking brake lever, throttle and choke cables, electric PTO clutch, attachment lift, etc.

3.Stop the engine and check for fluid leaks: oil, gasoline, or transmission oil.

4.If any control fails to operate properly during testing or seems to be out of adjustment, check and readjust it according to the following Adjustments section.

4. Turn the key to OFF to end testing.

Mower Blade Stopping Check

Mower blades and mower drive belt should come to a complete stop within five seconds after the electric clutch switch is turned off.

With the ground speed control levers in the neutral position, the parking brake engaged, the PTO clutch switch disengaged, and an operator in the seat, start the tractor engine. Run the engine at full throttle. Engage the PTO clutch switch and wait several seconds. Disengage the PTO clutch switch and check the time it takes for the mower drive belt to stop. If the mower drive belt does not stop within five seconds, adjust the PTO clutch according to the instructions in the PTO Clutch Adjustment section.

Seat Switch Connection

Check that the seat switch wire harness (D, Figure 2) is connected to the seat switch.
