Tyres - Removal of Wheels Cutter Deck - Check List
CUTTER FAILS TO START OR CUTS OUT
WHEN SWITCHED ON
Check:
* Are you on the Tractor? – Unless you sit on the seat the safety
switch cuts out the Cutter Deck.
* Is the battery low? – The Clutch Engage Switch will only
operate if the battery is well charged.
* Does the 10Amp-blade fuse on the printed circuit board need
replacing? (see page 22)
* That either the cutter switch or the safety switch on the seat is not
faulty – if so, call your dealer.
UNEVEN CUT (CUTS SHORTER ONE SIDE
THAN THE OTHER)
Check:
* That the tyres are all inflated to the correct pressure (see back
page).
* That the front axle is pivoting freely.
* That the deck suspension brackets are moving freely and not
hitching up.
* That the side to side deck level adjustment is correct
(see page 12).
CUT IS UNEVEN OR UNTIDY IN ONE OR MORE
SECTORS
Check:
* That Cutter Deck is levelled correctly front to back (see page 11).
* That one or more of the blades are not worn or damaged – if so,
call your dealer.
THE CUTTER SEEMS TO LOSE POWER AND
THE BELT SLIPS AND OVERHEATS
Check:
* That the Tensioner Rod is correctly applied.
* That the Cutter Belt Tension is correct (page 13).
* That the Cutter Deck is not clogged with wet cuttings.
* That the Cutter Drive Belt is not worn.
We do not recommend that customers attempt to
change cutting blades themselves - Remember
that it is never worthwhile to have blades
reground - It is cheaper and better to replace.
Re-grinding is likely to affect the hardening of the
blade and its balance.
