Sit on the seat, keep foot off traction pedal. Assure
parking brake is engaged, traction pedal is in
NEUTRAL, throttle is in SLOW position and the

required.
Run engine at idle speed or partial throttle until
engine warms up.
To stop, move all controls to NEUTRAL and set
parking brake. Return throttle to the idle position, turn
key to OFF and remove it from switch.

Unlatch and raise hood.
Insert a 3/16" hose over bleed screw and run other
end into a container to catch fuel.
Loosen fuel filter / water separator bleed screw
(Fig. 19) a few turns. Pump priming plunger until a
steady stream of fuel comes out of hole in bleed screw.
When fuel stops foaming, tighten the bleed screw
during the downstroke of the priming plunger. Wipe up
any spilled fuel.
Pump priming plunger until resistance is felt. Try to
start engine. If engine does not start repeat step 3.
04& It may be necessary to bleed the air out of the fuel
line between the fuel filter / water separator and the
injection pump. To do this, loosen the fitting on the
injection pump (Fig. 20) and repeat bleeding
procedure.

The RM 6500-D is equipped with an electronic
controller which is programmed to achieve automatic
clip control. The machine will automatically adjust the
reel speed to attain the desired clip as the traction
speed changes. In order for the controller to know what
clip is desired, the software must have been properly
set, by your distributor or dealer, to either 5, 7 or 11
blade and the height-of-cut selector knob must be
properly set.
The range of possible reel speeds is a minimum of
about 500 RPM and a maximum of about 1400 RPM.
As long as the desired clip requires a reel speed within
this range, the machine will maintain the desired clip. If
the traction speed is too slow or too fast to allow the
desired clip, the Reel Control light (on the front control
panel) will illuminate, indicating that the desired clip is
not being maintained. For example, if the traction
speed is zero, the reels will still run at the minimum
speed of about 500 RPM, which will result in a clip
smaller than desired and cause the Reel Control light to
illuminate. The approximate ranges of traction speed
which will result in the desired clip are as follows for
several of the possible heights of cut:
