Danger
Under certain conditions, diesel fuel and fuel
vapors are highly flammable and explosive. A fire
or explosion from fuel can burn you and others
and can cause property damage.
• Use a funnel and fill the fuel tank outdoors, in
an open area, when the engine is off and is cold.
Wipe up any fuel that spills.
• Do not fill the fuel tank completely full. Add fuel
to the fuel tank until the level is 1/4 to 1/2 in. (6
to 13 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck.
This empty space in the tank allows the fuel to
expand.
• Never smoke when handling fuel, and stay away
from an open flame or where fuel fumes may be
ignited by a spark.
• Store fuel in a clean, safety-approved container
and keep the cap in place.
Note: Normally, engine should start after above bleeding
procedures are followed. However, if engine does not start,
air may be trapped between injection pump and injectors;
refer to Bleeding Air from the Injectors, page 39.
Setting the Reel Speed
To achieve a consistent, high quality-of-cut and a uniform
after cut appearance, it is important that the reel speed
controls (located under seat) be correctly set.
Adjust the reel speed controls as follows:
1. Select the height-of-cut at which the cutting units are
set.
2. Choose the desired ground speed best suited for
conditions.
3. Using the appropriate graph (Fig. 30) for 5 blade or 8
blade cutting units, determine the proper reel speed
setting.
Figure 30
4. To set reel speed, rotate knobs (Fig. 31) until indicator
arrows are in line with the number designating desired
setting.

Note: Reel speed can be increased or decreased to
compensate for turf conditions.
