Service and Repairs
WARNING
Do not start the engine and engage the PTO
switch when the PTO drive shaft is discon-
nected from the cutting deck (or implement). If
the engine is started and the PTO shaft is al-
lowed to rotate, serious personal injury and
machine damage could result. If the PTO drive
shaft is disconnected from the cutting deck (or
implement), remove fuse F1 (15 amp) from fuse
block to prevent unintentional engagement of
the PTO clutch.
CAUTION
Never work on the cutting deck with the engine
running. Always stop engine and remove key
from ignition switch first.
Blade Stopping Time
The blades of the cutting deck should come to a com-
plete stop in less than seven (7) seconds after the PTO
switch is disengaged.
NOTE: When checking blade stopping time, make sure
the deck is lowered onto a clean section of turf or hard
surface to avoid dust and debris.
To verify blade stopping time, have a second person
stand back a safe distance from the machine and watch
the blades on the cutting deck. When the machine oper-
ator disengages the cutting deck, record the time it takes
for the blades to come to a complete stop. If this time is
greater than seven (7) seconds, the PTO brake assem-
bly in the transmission should be inspected.
