3. Attach the other end of the towing device to a vehicle

that is capable of towing the machine safely and at

speeds below 3 mph.

4. An operator must be on the machine to steer it and keep

the traction pedal fully depressed in the forward

position while towing.

5. When towing is completed, reinstall driveshaft as

shown in Figure 33. The splines are designed to allow

assembly only when the two halves of the shaft are

properly oriented.

Diagnostic Light

The RM 5200-D/5400-D is equipped with a diagnostic light

which indicates if the electronic controller is functioning

correctly. The green diagnostic light is located under the

control panel, next to the fuse block (Fig. 35). When the

electronic controller is functioning correctly and the key

switch is moved to the ON position, the controller

diagnostic light will be illuminated. The light will blink if

the controller detects a malfunction in the electrical system.

The light will stop blinking and automatically reset when

the key switch is turned to the OFF position.

1. Electronic controller light

When the controller diagnostic light blinks, one of the

following problems has been detected by the controller:

• One of the outputs has been shorted.
• One of the outputs is open circuited.
Using the diagnostic display, determine which output is

malfunctioning; refer to Checking the Interlock Switches,

page 29.

If the diagnostic light is not illuminated when the key

switch is in the ON position, this indicates that the

electronic controller is not operating. Possible causes are:

• Loopback is not connected.
• The light is burned out.

• Fuses are blown.
• Not functioning correctly.
Check electrical connections, input fuses and diagnostic

light bulb to determine malfunction. Make sure loopback

connector is secured to wire harness connector.

Diagnostic ACE Display

The RM 5200-D/5400-D is equipped with an electronic

controller which controls most machine functions. The

controller determines what function is required for various

input switches (i.e. seat switch, key switch, etc.) and turns

on the outputs to actuate solenoids or relays for the

requested machine function.

For the electronic controller to control the machine as

desired, each of the input switches, output solenoids and

relays must be connected and functioning properly.

The Diagnostic ACE display is a tool to help the user verify

correct electrical functions of the machine.

Checking the Interlock

Switches

The purpose of the interlock switches are to prevent the

engine from cranking or starting unless the traction pedal is

in NEUTRAL, the Enable/Disable switch is in DISABLE

and the Lower Mow / Raise control is in the neutral

position. In addition, the engine will stop when the traction

pedal is depressed with operator off the seat.

If safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged the machine could operate unexpectedly
causing personal injury.
Do not tamper with the interlock switches.

Check the operation of the interlock switches

daily and replace any damaged switches before

operating the machine.

Replace switches every two years regardless of

whether they are operating properly or not.

Caution

Verifying Interlock Switch Function

1. Park machine on a level surface, lower the cutting units,

stop the engine and engage the parking brake.

2. Open control panel cover. Locate wire harness and

connectors near controller (Fig. 36). Carefully unplug

loop back connector from harness connector.
