Adjustments
CAUTION
Never install or work on the cutting units or lift
arms with the engine running. Always stop en-
gine and remove key first.
See Operator’s Manual for adjustment procedures for
the cutting units on the Groundsmaster 4000−D.
Castor Wheel Tire Pressure
Castor tires on the front and side decks should be in-
flated to 50 psi (3.5 bar).
Blade Stopping Time
The blades of the cutting deck are to come to a complete
stop in approximately 5 seconds after the cutting deck
engagement switch is shut down.
NOTE: Make sure the decks are lowered onto a clean
section of turf or hard surface to avoid dust and debris.
To verify this stopping time, have a second person stand
back from the deck at least 20 feet and watch the blades
on one of the cutting decks. Have the operator shut the
cutting decks down and record the time it takes for the
blades to come to a complete stop. If this time is greater
than 7 seconds, the braking valve on the hydraulic man-
ifold needs adjustment.
