Troy-Bilt 13074-GTX 18, 13101-GTX 16 Operation continued, Interlock System, Attachment/PTO Drive

Operation (continued)

Interlock System

Leaving the seat while the attachment/PTO drive switch (X, Fig. 6-1) is on or while the brake is off will stop the engine.

WARNING

DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT IF THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

Interlock System Test Procedure: With the engine running, stop tractor on a level surface (do NOT engage brake) and raise yourself off the seat. Engine should stop.

AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS (MODEL 13076 ONLY)

Q

1. Push coupling (Q) back.

2. Install hydraulic hose end. Fig. 6-23. Release coupling.

Engage brake and press the attachment/PTO drive switch (X, Fig. 6-1) to “ON”. Raise yourself off the seat. Engine should stop. If the engine does not stop in both instances, do not operate the unit. Have the interlock repaired. With engine running and PTO drive switch (X, Fig. 6-1) in the “ON” position, move the travel pedal (M, Fig. 6-1) into the reverse travel position. The PTO should automatically shut off. If it doesn’t, do not operate the unit and have the interlock repaired.

Perform Electric Clutch Break-in Procedure

Start the engine as instructed on page 16. With the engine running at full (fast) speed, engage and disengage attachment/PTO drive switch (X, Fig. 6-1) 10 to 15 times. Perform this step before initial use and after extended storage.

Attachment/PTO Drive

To engage the attachment/PTO drive, press attachment/PTO drive switch (X, Fig. 6-1) to “ON”.

Hydraulic Attachment Lift

Pull attachment lift lever (K, Fig. 6-1) back to lift attachment. Push lever forward to lower attachment. When lever is released, it will return to neutral, except when

pushed fully forward to “FLOAT” position.

Use the “FLOAT” position to allow the attachment to follow ground contours.

Auxiliary Hydraulic Lever (20 HP Units): Pull auxiliary hydraulic lever (L) back to activate auxiliary hydraulic attachment. Push lever forward to reverse direction.

WARNING

BEFORE USING HYDRAULIC LEVERS, MAKE SURE THE ATTACHMENT IS COMPLETELY HOOKED UP. MOVE ATTACHMENT THROUGH THE COMPLETE LIFT RANGE SLOWLY TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NO INTERFERENCE. MAKE ADJUSTMENTS IF NECESSARY.

Auxiliary Hydraulic Connections (Model 13076 Only)

Connections for auxiliary hydraulics (see Fig. 6-2) are on the front, right-side of the frame.

To use these connections, remove rubber plugs. Clean all dirt and debris from around connections. Push coupling (Q) back. Insert hydraulic hose end.

When auxiliary connections are not in use, secure the rubber plugs over the

connections to prevent debris from entering the hydraulic system.

KEEP HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS CLEAN. Dirty hydraulic connections can contaminate the hydraulic fluid and damage hydraulic components.

WARNING

DIRTY HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS CAN CONTAMINATE THE HYDRAULIC FLUID AND DAMAGE HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS. KEEP RUBBER PLUGS IN PLACE. NEVER USE HANDS TO FEEL FOR HYDRAULIC LEAKS. HOT HYDRAULIC FLUID LEAKING AT HIGH PRESSURE COULD PENETRATE SKIN.

USE ONLY TROY-BILT®APPROVED ATTACHMENTS. Other attachments could damage the hydraulic system and void the warranty.

INSPECT ALL HYDRAULIC COMPONENTS FOR HIGH PRESSURE LEAKS BEFORE TESTING OR REPAIRING. Never “feel” for leaks. Oil leaking at high pressure could penetrate skin. Operating temperatures of hydraulic fluids are extremely high.
