gradually close the manual valves on top of
each pump one at a time and see if the
wheels start to move. If the wheels move
when the hand controls are in the neutral
position, adjust the neutral adjustment
knobs at the back of the mower between
the two hydraulic pumps until they stop.
The manual valves on top of each pump
should now be firmly closed. Now try
moving the hand control levers, one at a
time, forward and backward. Check to see
if the wheels move forward and backward
according to position of the levers. If not,
service the hand control system. If the
wheels stop when the hand controls are in
the neutral position the parking brake
should now be applied. Now check if the
parking brake interlock prevents you from
moving both of the hand control levers from
the neutral position. If not, service the
parking brake interlock.
Before testing the blade clutch/brake opera-
tion 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 time. The dis-
charge chute deflector should be in the
down position. The parking brake should
now be applied. Move the engine throttle
control to its highest RPM speed setting.
Stand on the foot platform and turn on the
blade clutch switch. Run blades for a
minute or so. Try engaging and disengag-
ing the blades a few times about 10 sec-
onds apart. If the blades do not start and
stop in a few seconds each time, service
the blade brake system. With the blades
on, now try stepping off the foot platform
to test the Operator Presence Control
switch (OPC). The engine should die and
the blades should stop in several seconds.
If not, service the OPC system. Try this a
couple of times.
Disengage the blades, set the parking brake
and shut off the engine and remove the
mower from the stand(s).
Drive the mower around on a level parking lot.
It is recommended that the slower setting of
the Speed/Sensitivity Adjustment be used.
(See further in this manual for information on
Speed/Sensitivity Adjustment.) Check that
the mower drives in a straight line when both
hand controls are held to the full speed
position which is up against the stationary
control bar. If not, see further in this manual
for information on tracking adjustment.
As you drive the mower listen for any unusual
noises and test for irregular operation and
adjust or service as necessary. Next, go
over the safety information and operating
procedures in this manual with the cus-
tomer. Instruct the customer in proper op-
eration and observe the customer during
their initial operation on a level parking lot.
Make sure the customer is familiar and
comfortable with the basic operation and
use of the mower.
