1. Make sure hydraulic oil is at normal operating temper-
ature before doing test.
Keep away from reels during tests to prevent
personal injury from rotating reel blades. Do
not stand in front of the machine.
2. Determine which reel motor is malfunctioning.
One way to find a bad motor is to have another per-
son observe the machine while mowing in dense
turf. A bad motor will run slower, produce fewer clip-
pings and could cause marcelling (or a washboard
appearance) of the turf.
NOTE: The three reel motors in the front circuit (No. 1,
4 and 5) and two reel motors in the rear circuit (No. 2 and
3) are connected in series (No. 2, 3, 6 and 7 on
RM6700–D). To isolate a faulty motor you may have to
test all motors in the circuit, starting with the first one in
series.
3. Lower cutting units, engage parking brake and stop
the engine.
4. Install a tee fitting between the motor inlet fitting and
hose. Install a 5000 PSI pressure gauge on the tee fit-
ting.
5. Set HOC Selector Knob, located under the instru-
ment panel, to position A (full speed). Make sure Back-
lap switch is OFF.
6. Put a block of wood between the blades of the cutting
unit being tested to prevent the reel from rotating.
7. One person should sit on the seat and operate the
machine while another person reads the tester. Start the
engine and move “Enable/Disable” switch to ENABLE.
Move “Lower–Mow/Raise” lever forward to engage the
cutting units.
TESTER READING: Approx. 1400 – 1600 PSI.
8. Disengage the cutting units and stop the engine. If
pressure is less than 1400 PSI, crossover relief valve on
motor is malfunctioning or there is internal leakage in the
reel motor and the motor efficiency should be checked.
