2 SAFETY

2.1 OPERATING SAFETY ______________________________________________________

WARNING

EQUIPMENT OPERATED IMPROPERLY OR BY UNTRAINED PERSONNEL CAN BE DANGEROUS.

Familiarize yourself with the location and proper use of all controls. Inexperienced operators should receive instruction

from someone familiar with the equipment before being allowed to operate the machine.

1. Safety is dependent upon the awareness, concern, and prudence of those who operate or service the equipment. Never allow minors to operate any equipment.

2. It is your responsibility to read this manual and all publications associated with this equipment (Safety & Operation Manual, Engine Manual, and attachments/accessories instruction sheets). If the operator cannot read English it is the owner’s responsibility to explain the material contained in this manual to them.

3. Learn the proper use of the machine, the location and purpose of all the controls and gauges before you operate the equipment. Working with unfamiliar equipment can lead to accidents.

4. Never allow anyone to operate or service the machine or its attachments without proper training and instructions, or while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

5. Wear all the necessary protective clothing and personal safety devices to protect your head, eyes, ears, hands, and feet. Operate the machine only in daylight or in good artificial light.

6. Evaluate the terrain to determine what accessories and attachments are needed to properly and safely perform the job. Only use accessories and attachments approved by Jacobsen.

7. Stay alert for holes in the terrain and other hidden hazards.

8. Inspect the area where the equipment will be used. Pick up all the debris you can find before operating. Beware of overhead obstructions (low tree limbs, electrical wires, etc.) and also underground obstacles (sprinklers, pipes, tree roots, etc.). Enter a new area cautiously. Stay alert for hidden hazards.

9. Never direct discharge of material toward bystanders, nor allow anyone near the machine while in operation. The owner/operator can prevent and is responsible for injuries inflicted to themselves, to bystanders, and damage to property.

10. Do not carry passengers. Keep bystanders and pets a safe distance away.

11. Never operate equipment that is not in perfect working order or is without decals, guards, shields, discharge deflectors, or other protective devices securely fastened in place.

12. Never disconnect or bypass any switch.

13. Do not change the engine governor setting or overspeed the engine.

14. Carbon monoxide in the exhaust fumes can be fatal when inhaled. Never operate the engine without proper ventilation or in an enclosed area.

15. Fuel is highly flammable, handle with care.

16. Keep the engine clean. Allow the engine to cool before storing and always remove the ignition key.

17. Disengage all drives and engage parking brake before starting the engine (motor). Start the engine only when sitting in operator’s seat, never while standing beside the unit.

18. Equipment must comply with the latest federal, state, and local requirements when driven or transported on public roads. Watch out for traffic when crossing or operating on or near roads.

19. Local regulations may restrict the age of the operator.

20. Operate the machine up and down the face of slopes (vertically), not across the face (horizontally).

21. To prevent tipping or loss of control, do not start or stop suddenly on slopes. Reduce speed when making sharp turns. Use caution when changing directions.

22. Always use the seat belt when operating mowers equipped with a Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS).

Never use a seat belt when operating mowers without a ROPS.

Accessory operator protective structures will continue to be offered for all equipment currently covered. This allows for the outfitting of any machines without previous ROPS installations or replacement of damaged structures.

23. Keep legs, arms, and body inside the seating compartment while the vehicle is in motion.

24. Disconnect batteries before performing any welding on this mower.

This machine is to be operated and maintained as specified in this manual and is intended for the professional maintenance of specialized turf grasses. It is not intended for use on rough terrain or long grasses.

2.2 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES________________________________________________

This safety alert symbol is used to alert you to potential hazards.

DANGER - Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.

WARNING - Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious

injury.

CAUTION - Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury

a. Return traction pedal to Neutral. b. Disengage all drives. c. Lower all implements to the ground. d. Engage parking brake. e. Stop engine and remove the ignition key.

2. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from moving parts. Wait for all movement to stop before you clean, adjust, or service the machine.

3. Keep the area of operation clear of all bystanders and pets.

4. Never carry passengers, unless a seat is provided for them.

5. Never operate mowing equipment without the discharge deflector securely fastened in place.

By following all instructions in this manual, you will prolong the life of your machine and maintain its maximum efficiency. Adjustments and maintenance should always be performed by a qualified technician.

6.4 OPERATOR ALERTS_______________________________________________________

The electrical system monitors vital machine systems. It uses an audible alarm and warning lights to alert the operator of conditions requiring immediate action. When an alert occurs follow the general guidelines listed in the chart below, and any specific actions outlined by the grounds superintendent or service manager.

Alert Action

This system monitors:

1. Engine oil pressure.

2. Engine coolant temperature.

3. Driving with brake on.

1. Engine Oil Pressure - oil pressure light comes on. Oil pressure low.

2. Engine Coolant Temperature Alarm sounds. Engine coolant temperature high.

3. Alternator Light - Warning light comes on.

4. Driving with brake on - Alarm sounds.

Stop mower immediately, lower deck, and shut off engine! Inspect oil level in engine. If oil light remains on with oil at proper level, shut off engine, and tow or trailer mower back to a service area. NEVER operate engine with oil light on, severe damage to the engine can occur.

Stop mower immediately, lower deck and shut off engine! Remove debris such as leaves and grass clippings that may be restricting air flow through rear screen on hood and area between radiator and oil cooler. If engine continues to run hot, return mower to a service area.

7.6 TO DRIVE / TRANSPORT____________________________________________________

Read and follow all safety notes contained in this manual when driving or transporting mower. Refer to Section 7.3 for general operating instructions. When operating in reverse look behind you to ensure you have a clear path.

Important: If this mower is driven on public roads, it must comply with federal, state, and local ordinances. Contact

local authorities for regulations and equipment requirements.

To raise decks to their transport position:

Set PTO switch to OFF. Pull back and hold lift lever until deck is fully raised (transport) position.

7.7 HILLSIDE OPERATION _____________________________________________________

WARNING

To minimize the possibility of overturning, the safest method for operating on hills and terraces is to travel up and down the face of the slope (vertically), not across the face (horizontally). Avoid unnecessary turns, travel at reduced speeds, and stay alert for hidden hazards.

CAUTION

Do not operate this mower on slopes greater than 15° or 26.8% grade.

The mower has been designed for good traction and stability under normal mowing conditions; however, use caution when operating on slopes, especially over rough terrain or when the grass is wet. Wet grass reduces traction and steering control.

1. Always mow with the engine at full throttle but reduce forward speed to maintain the proper cutting frequency.

2. If the mower tends to slide or the tires begin to “mark” the turf, angle mower into a less steep grade until traction is regained or tire marking stops.

3. If mower continues to slide or mark the turf, the

grade is too steep for safe operation. Do not make another attempt to climb, back down slowly.

4. When descending a steep slope, always lower implements to the ground to reduce the risk of mower overturning.

Correct tire pressure is essential for maximum traction. Keep tires inflated to 14 psi (1 BAR).

7.8 MOW SPEED _____________________________________________________________

Cutting quality is better at speeds well below the transport speed of the mower. An initial mow speed of 5 to 6 mph (8 to 9.6 kph) is set at the factory and should be satisfactory for most cutting conditions. Local turf conditions however may respond better to a different speed.

7.9 MOWING_________________________________________________________________

WARNING

To prevent serious injuries, keep hands, feet, and clothing away from cutting unit when the blades are moving.

NEVER use your hands to clean cutting units. Use a brush to remove grass clippings from blades. Blades can be sharp and could cause injuries.

To clear obstructions from cutting unit, disengage PTO, engage parking brake, stop engine, and remove key from ignition switch then remove obstruction.

To mow:

1. Press lift lever (F) forward to lower decks. Engage PTO (K) to start blades and depress traction pedal slowly to begin mowing.

To set mow speed, loosen jam nut and adjust stop screw, located under the traction pedal, up to reduce speed, down to increase speed. Tighten nut to hold adjustment in place.

The correct operating speed depends on the height, density, type of grass and terrain being cut.

2. To raise decks first turn PTO switch (K) off to stop blades, then pull and hold lift lever (F) back. Always stop and raise decks when crossing paths or

roadways.

CAUTION

Never raise decks with the blades turning. Always disengage PTO.

3. Plan your cutting pattern to avoid unnecessary turns so you will mow as straight as possible.

a. For extremely tall grass, first cut at a higher level

then lower decks to the desired cutting height.

b. Slow down when turning, operating in tight areas,

7.10 AFTER OPERATION _______________________________________________________

1. Park the mower on a flat, level surface. Fully lower the implements to the ground, engage parking brake, stop the engine, and remove key from ignition switch.

2. Grease and lubricate all points if required, wash the cutting unit and mower after each use.

Note: Do not wash a hot or running engine. Use compressed air to clean the engine and radiator fins.

3. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean fuel. Be sure to reinstall and tighten fuel cap.

OPERATION 7

7.11 TOWING / TRAILERING _____________________________________________________

If the mower experiences problems and must be shut down and removed from the area, it should be loaded onto a trailer for transport. If a trailer is not available, the unit can be towed slowly short distances.

Use care when loading and unloading mower. Fasten mower to trailer to prevent mower from rolling or shifting during transport.

Long Distance Trailering / Transport. If the mower is to be trailered on the highway, before strapping to trailer, close fuel shut off valve, and inflate tires to the maximum pressure listed on side of tire. Reduce tire pressure to normal after removing from trailer.

Before towing, open tow valve. The tow valve permits moving the mower without starting the engine and prevents possible damage to hydraulic components.

The tow valve (U) is located on the hydraulic drive pump beneath the operators seat. To open valve, loosen jam nut (S), and hold while hex stud (T) is backed out 3 to 4 turns. Do not loosen or remove tow valve body (U).

Before towing make sure deck is raised. If deck cannot be raised, remove it from the mower.

Turn the hex stud (T) fully in and tighten jam nut (S) after towing.

NOTE: Do not exceed 2 MPH (3.2 KPH) while towing. Long distance towing is not recommended

a. Before disconnecting any hydraulic component,

tag or mark the location of each hose then clean the area around the fittings.

b. As you disconnect the component, be prepared

to assemble plugs or caps to the hose ends and open ports. This will keep impurities out of the hydraulic system and also prevent oil spills.

c. Make sure O-rings are clean and hose fittings

are properly seated before tightening.

d. Keep the hose from twisting. Twisted hoses can

cause couplers to loosen as the hose flexes during operation resulting in oil leaks.

e. Kinked or twisted hoses can restrict the oil flow

causing the system to malfunction and the oil to overheat and also lead to hose failure.

4. Thoroughly inspect all tubes, hoses, and connections every 250 hours.

9.13 HYDRAULIC OIL AND FILTER _______________________________________________

Refer to Section 8.3 for specific maintenance intervals.

Drain and replace the hydraulic oil after a major component failure, or if you notice the presence of water or foam in the oil, or a rancid odor (indicating excessive heat).

Always replace the hydraulic filter when changing oil.

To change hydraulic oil:

1. Clean the area around the oil cap to prevent impurities from entering and contaminating the system.

2. Remove drain plug from bottom of main tank.

3. After oil has drained install drain plug and fill with Jacobsen Hydraulic oil.

4. Purge air from system.

The hydraulic system is protected by one 10 micron filter (A). The filter is located under the operator platform near the hydraulic oil tank.

12 QUALITY OF CUT

12.1 QUALITY OF CUT TROUBLESHOOTING _______________________________________

It is recommended that a “test cut” be performed to evaluate the mower’s performance before beginning repairs.

An area should be available where “test cuts” can be made. This area should provide known and consistent turf conditions to allow accurate evaluation of the mower’s performance.

Another “test cut” should be performed after the completion of the repairs and/or adjustments to verify the

Before performing a “test cut” to diagnose cut appearance and mower performance, the following items should be verified to ensure an accurate “test cut.”

1. Mowing (Ground) Speed

2. Blade Sharpness

3. Height-of-Cut (HOC)

4. Roller and Roller Bearing Condition

5. Blade Speed

mower’s performance.

12.2 WASHBOARDING__________________________________________________________

Washboarding is a cyclical pattern of varying cutting heights, resulting in a wave-like cut appearance. In most cases, the wave tip-to-tip distance is approximately 6—8 in. (15—20 cm). Color variation (light-to-dark) may also be noticed.

This condition is usually caused by a rocking motion in the cutting unit(s). This condition is found mostly on mowers with multiple (suspended) cutting units.

Washboarding may also be caused by variations in the turf.

NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.

Probable Cause Remedy

Mowing (ground) speed is too fast. Reduce mowing (ground) speed.

Mowing in the same direction. Change mowing direction regularly.

Cutting units have too much or too little weight on them. Use weight transfer switch to transfer weight on or off cutting units.

(Refer to Parts & Maintenance Manual.)

Insufficient engine speed, not set to specification. Check/adjust engine speed. (Refer to Parts & Maintenance

Manual.)

Hydraulic system and/or rotary drive motor performance is reduced.

Check hydraulic system performance (pump output, motor

operation, valve operation, relief valve settings, etc.).

12 QUALITY OF CUT

TN0221

12.3 STEP CUTTING ___________________________________________________________

Step cutting occurs when grass is cut taller on one side of a cutting unit than the other or on one side of mower to the other. This is usually caused by mechanical wear or an incorrect roller or deck caster adjustment.

NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.

Probable Cause Remedy

HOC (height-of-cut) settings are different from one side of a cutting unit to the other or from one cutting unit to another.

Worn deck caster wheel bearings. Check/replace deck caster wheel bearings.

Cutting unit movement is restricted. Check/remove cutting unit movement restriction.

Variations in turf density Change mowing direction.

12.4 SCALPING _______________________________________________________________

Scalping is a condition in which areas of grass are cut noticeably shorter than the surrounding areas, resulting in a light green or even brown patch. This is usually caused by an excessively low height-of-cut setting and/or uneven turf.

NOTE: Arrow indicates direction of travel.

Probable Cause Remedy

HOC (height-of-cut) settings are lower than normal. Check and adjust the HOC settings. (Refer to Parts & Maintenance

Manual.)

Turf too uneven for the mower to follow. Change mowing direction.

Cutting too much grass at one time. Mow more often.

Mowing (ground) speed is too fast. Reduce mowing (ground) speed.
