Diode Circuit Board
The circuit board contains four diodes (Fig. 39) and is lo-
cated under the console housing. The diodes are used
for circuit protection from inductive voltage spikes that
occur when a hydraulic valve solenoid is de−energized.
Diode D1 is in the left cutting deck circuit, D2 is in the
Transport/Mow circuit, D3 is in the front cutting deck cir-
cuit, and D4 is in the right cutting deck circuit.
Testing
The diodes can be individually tested using a digital
multimeter (ohms setting) and the table to the right. If
any of the diodes are damaged, the diode circuit board
must be replaced.
