9 ADJUSTMENTS DANGER When The Machine Is Being Used Off Road, Whether Cutting Grass Or Not, The Seat Belt Should Only Be Worn When A Rops Frame Is In Place And Deployed. This Rationale Is Based On The Fact That A Seat Belt Must Be Worn With A Rops To Comply With The Machinery Directive 98/37/EC Sections 3.2.2, Seating & 3.4.3, Rollover. Ransomes Jacobsen Limited Recommends That A Local Risk Assessment Is Completed By The Owner/ User Of The Machine To Determine Any Exceptions To This Seat Belt Wearing Rule.

11 PROBLEM SOLVING 11.1 PROBLEM SOLVING GENERAL ____________________________________ Symptoms Engine will not start Engine hard to start or runs poorly. Engine Stops Engine Overheating Battery not holding charge. Battery light on Decks cut unevenly Poor quality of cut. en-99 Possible Causes Action Glow plug has not timed out Reset ignition switch and allow glow plug to time out before cranking engine. Battery low on charge or defective. Inspect condition of battery and battery connections.
QUALITY OF CUT 12 12 QUALITY OF CUT PROBLEM SOLVING ______________________________ It is recommended that a “test cut” be performed to evaluate the mower’s performance before beginning repairs. Before performing a “test cut” to diagnose cut appearance and mower performance, the following items must be verified to ensure an accurate “test cut.” An area must be available where “test cuts” can be made.
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.2 STEP CUTTING _________________________________________________ Step cutting occurs when grass is cut taller on one side of a cutting unit than the other or on one side of mower to the other. This is usually caused by mechanical wear or an incorrect roller or deck caster adjustment. TN0221 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy HOC (height-of-cut) settings are different from one side of a cutting unit to the other or from one cutting unit to another.
QUALITY OF CUT 12 12.3 SCALPING ______________________________________________________ Scalping is a condition in which areas of grass are cut noticeably shorter than the surrounding areas, resulting in a light green or even brown patch. This is usually caused by an excessively low height-ofcut (HOC) setting and/or uneven turf. TN0222 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy HOC (height-of-cut) settings are lower than normal. Check/adjust the HOC settings.
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.4 STRAGGLERS __________________________________________________ Stragglers are scattered blades of uncut or poorly cut grass. TN0223 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Dull cutting blades(s). Sharpen or replace blade. Mowing (ground) speed is too fast. Reduce mowing (ground) speed. Grass is too tall. Mow more often. Mowing in the same direction. Change mowing direction regularly.
QUALITY OF CUT 12 12.5 STREAKS ______________________________________________________ A streak is a line of uncut grass. This is usually caused by a damaged blade. TN0224 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Damaged blade(s). Replace blade(s). Turning too aggressively. Cutting units don’t overlap during turns or on side hills. Turn less aggressively to allow cutting units to overlap. Change mowing direction or pattern on side hills. Tire mats down grass before it is cut.
12 QUALITY OF CUT 12.6 WINDROWING ___________________________________________________ Windrowing is the deposit of clippings concentrated at one end of cutting unit(s) or between two cutting units, forming a line in the direction of travel. TN0225 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy Grass is too tall. Mow more often. Mowing while grass is wet. Mow when grass is dry. Grass built up on roller(s). Clean roller(s) and scraper(s). Grass collecting on bedknife.
QUALITY OF CUT 12 12.7 MISMATCHED CUTTING UNITS ____________________________________ Mismatched cutting units is a pattern of varying cutting heights, resulting in a stepped cut appearance, usually due to mismatched HOC (height-of-cut) adjustment from one cutting unit to another. TN1278 NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel. Probable Cause Remedy HOC inconsistent from one cutting unit to another. Check/adjust HOC on cutting units to same height.
