OPERATION
Use adequately sized and rated trailers and equipment to transport the tractor and mower. Consult an authorized dealer to determine the proper equipment required. Using adequately sized chains, heavy duty straps, cables and/or binders. Securely tie down both the front and rear of the tractor utilizing the proper tie down locations as specified by the tractor manufacturer.
Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the chains are pulling downward and against themselves. Carefully tighten the securing chains or other fasteners used as much as possible using boomers or binders to apply maximum tension. Use extreme care when attaching and removing the securing devices as the extreme tension involved when released has the potential to inflict serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and mower, make occasional stops to check that the tractor and mower have not moved or shifted and that the securing chains have maintained tension. If during transport a hard braking, sharp turning, or swerving action was performed, stop at the next safe location to inspect the security of the load.
12.TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
A.HYDRAULIC CYLINDER NOT WORKING - Check level of hydraulic fluid (see sight gauge on tank). Check to see if pump is functioning properly by attempting to use another cylinder or pressure gauge. If pump is working properly, check the pressure on the line. The relief valve may be
NOTE: Refer to repair parts section on valve bank settings on individual relief cartridges.
B.HYDRAULIC MOTOR NOT WORKING - Check lines for kinks or pinched place. If the motor is “bogging down” under load, recheck the relief valve setting on the cutter valve - 2500 P.S.I.
C.HYDRAULIC VALVE - Failures in the hydraulic system are almost always caused by other elements in the
system other than the valve; so the entire system should be checked before the valve is changed. A malfunction In any hydraulic valve section will require replacement of that section (but not the replacement of the valve bank) since the insides are honed to fit individually. Attachments such as the relief valves and detent may be serviced individually.
D.STRUCTURAL MEMBERS - Failure in structural members generally results from rough treatment. While they are constructed to withstand abuse, they cannot be made strong enough to withstand abnormal abuse. The factory does not warrant these parts to any extent other than in normal use in grass, weeds, brush, small bushes, and small trees which the unit is designed to cut.
