C Series Garden Tractor - Cutter Deck Check List
CUTTER FAILS TO START OR CUTS OUT WHEN
SWITCHED ON
Check:
• Are you on the tractor? – Unless you sit on the seat, the
safety switch cuts out the Cutter Deck.
• Is the battery low? – The Clutch Engage Switch will only
operate if the battery is well charged.
• Does the 10Amp-barrel fuse on the printed circuit board
need replacing (see page 19, fig 57).
• That either the Cutter Switch or the Safety Switch on the
seat is not faulty – if so, call your dealer.
UNEVEN CUT (CUTS SHORTER ONE SIDE THAN
THE OTHER) - Fig 14
Check:
• That the tyres are all inflated to the correct pressures
(see back sheet).
• That the front axle is pivoting freely.
• That the deck suspension brackets are moving freely
and not hitching up.
• That the side deck level adjustment is correct (page 10).
CUT IS UNEVEN OR UNTIDY IN ONE OR MORE SECTORS
Check:
• That the Cutter Deck is levelled correctly front to back
(page 9).
• That one or more of the blades are not worn or
damaged – if so, call your dealer.
THE CUTTER SEEMS TO LOSE POWER AND THE BELT
SLIPS AND OVERHEATS
Check:
• That the Tensioner Rod is correctly applied.
• That the Cutter Belt Tension is correct (see page 11).
• That the Cutter Deck is not clogged with wet cuttings.
• That the Cutter Drive belt is not worn.
We do not recommend that customers attempt to change
cutting blades themselves, remember that it is never
worthwhile to have blades reground. It is cheaper and
better to replace blades – re-grinding is likely to affect the
hardening of the blade and its balance.
