Condition Probable Cause Remedy
Drive motors do not reach full speed. Engine speed is insufficient, not set to
specification.
Check engine speed. (Refer to “Safety,
Operation, and Maintenance Manual.”)
Rotary drive motors and/or hydraulic
system performance is reduced.
Check hydraulic system performance.
(See “Instrument Test Procedure” on
page 6-27.)

mower.
Seat switch is faulty. Test seat switch. (See “Seat Switch Test”
on page 4-77.)
PTO switch is not engaged. Engage PTO switch. (Refer to “Safety,
Operation, and Maintenance Manual.”)
PTO switch is faulty. Test PTO switch. (See “PTO Switch Test”
on page 4-78.)
Wing mow enable switch not engaged. Engage wing mow enable switch. (Refer to
“Safety, Operation, and Maintenance
Manual.”)
Wing mow enable switch is faulty. Test wing mow enable switch. (See “Wing
Mow Enable and Light Switches Test”
on page 4-79.)
Front mow enable switch not engaged. Engage front mow enable switch. (Refer to
“Safety, Operation, and Maintenance
Manual.”)
Front mow enable switch is faulty. Test front mow enable switch. (See “Front
Mow Enable Switch Test” on
page 4-79.)
