Before testing the blade clutch/brake operation, make sure the area is clear and there is nothing vulnerable
to possible thrown objects from under the mower. No one should be near the mower deck or in its line of
discharge at this or at any time. The discharge chute deflector should be in the down position.
Move the engine throttle control to ¾ RPM speed setting.
Turn on the blade clutch switch. Run blades for approximately one minute. Next, engage and disengage
the blades a few times about 10 seconds apart. If the blades do not start and stop in a few seconds each
time, service the blade brake system.
With the blades on, disengage the OPC switch to test the Operator Presence Control switch (OPC). A time
delay has been added to the OPC system. The engine should die and the blades should stop with-in 6-9
seconds after stepping off of the foot platform. If not, service the OPC system.
Disengage the blades.
Drive the mower around on a level parking lot. Check that the mower drives in a straight line when both
hand controls are at the full speed position. (If not, refer to How to Perform The Tracking Adjustment section
of this manual) (The control handles may not line up perfectly)
As you drive the mower, listen for any unusual noises and test for irregular operation and adjust or
service as necessary.
Go over the safety information and operating procedures in this manual with the customer. Instruct each
customer in proper operation and observe the customer during their initial operation on a level parking lot.
Repeat until the customer is familiar and comfortable with the basic operation and use of the mower.
