Use adequately sized and rated trailers and equipment
to transport the tractor and mower. Consult an
authorized dealer to determine the proper equipment
required. Using adequately sized chains, heavy duty
straps, cables and/or binders. Securely tie down both
the front and rear of the tractor utilizing the proper tie
down locations as specified by the tractor manufacturer.
Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the chains
are pulling downward and against themselves. Carefully
tighten the securing chains or other fasteners used as
much as possible using boomers or binders to apply
maximum tension. Use extreme care when attaching
and removing the securing devices as the extreme
tension involved when released has the potential to inflict
serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and mower, make occasional
stops to check that the tractor and mower have not
moved or shifted and that the securing chains have
maintained tension. If during transport a hard braking,
sharp turning, or swerving action was performed, stop
at the next safe location to inspect the security of the
load.
12. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
A. HYDRAULIC CYLINDER NOT WORKING - Check level of hydraulic fluid (see sight gauge on tank). Check to
see if pump is functioning properly by attempting to use another cylinder or pressure gauge. If pump is working
properly, check the pressure on the line. The relief valve may be by-passing fluid at too low pressures. If
cylinder is still not functioning properly, check the line for stoppage. The pistons in hydraulic cylinders are
virtually trouble-free, but occasionally one will have a scored wall and allow oil to flow around the piston. In this
case, replace the cylinder.
NOTE: Refer to repair parts section on valve bank settings on individual relief cartridges.
B. HYDRAULIC MOTOR NOT WORKING - Check lines for kinks or pinched place. If the motor is “bogging down”
under load, recheck the relief valve setting on the cutter valve - 2500 P.S.I.
C. HYDRAULIC VALVE - Failures in the hydraulic system are almost always caused by other elements in the
system other than the valve; so the entire system should be checked before the valve is changed. A
malfunction In any hydraulic valve section will require replacement of that section (but not the replacement of
the valve bank) since the insides are honed to fit individually. Attachments such as the relief valves and detent
may be serviced individually.
D. STRUCTURAL MEMBERS - Failure in structural members generally results from rough treatment. While they
are constructed to withstand abuse, they cannot be made strong enough to withstand abnormal abuse. The
factory does not warrant these parts to any extent other than in normal use in grass, weeds, brush, small
bushes, and small trees which the unit is designed to cut.
