position.
 Is the Belt Engagement Lever in the “Tighten” position? Move the Lever to the “Tighten”
position.
 Check for loose or disconnected Connectors (operator presence, field and brush mower to
Chipper, light switch, and relay). Properly connect Connectors.
 Is Ground Wire properly grounded? Clean terminal and tighten Ground Wire hardware.
 Is relay working properly? Make sure all connections are made at all areas of the Wire Harness.
With your hand on the relay, turn the Key Switch to the light accessory position. If you feel a
click then the relay is probably OK. If there is no click in the relay may need to be replaced.

Disengage the blade at the control panel of the Field and Brush Mower. Shut down the engine, wait for all moving parts to come
to a complete stop, remove spark plug wire keeping it away from the spark plug to prevent accidental starting, then wait 5 minutes
before performing maintenance procedures or inspection on the chipper.
