with the patent-pending Radius Dependent Speed ™
(RDS) system. The RDS system is a clip-control
and independent wheel-speed feature that varies the
speeds of each reel motor and each traction motor to
maintain a constant clip and reduce turf scrubbing in
turns while cutting.
When the machine is turning while cutting (e.g., during
the clean-up pass), the reel on the inside of the turn
will rotate at a slower rpm than the reel on the outside
of the turn. The center reel splits the dif ference of the
inside and outside reel speeds so that all three cutting
units have the same clip. The sharper the turn, the
greater the dif ference in reel speeds. Additionally , if
the machine speed changes while you are cutting,
the RDS system adjusts the reel speed to maintain a
constant clip. This feature reduces turf thinning on
the inside reel (in comparison to other riding greens
mowers), which can reduce triplex ring.
The RDS system also adjusts each wheel-motor
speed during a turn, similar to the reel-motor speeds
changing in a turn. The inside wheel motor will turn
at a slower rpm than the outside wheel motor . This
minimizes wheel scrubbing in the turn and can reduce
triplex ring.
Setting the Clip-Control Feature
Navigate to the C LIP C ONTROL option to set the RDS
system feature.
• Clip control set to ON : The machine uses your
settings from the H EIGHT OF C UT (HOC) and B LADE
C OUNT options and the left and right wheel speeds
to determine the speed of each reel.
• Clip control set to O FF : The machine uses your
setting from the R EEL S PEED option. The reels
rotate at a constant rate.
Note: The factory default setting is ON .
Adjusting the Height of Cut (HOC)
Navigate to the H EIGHT OF C UT (HOC) option to adjust
the height of cut. The clip control feature must be
set to O N to use this feature; refer to Setting the
Clip-Control Feature ( page 27 ) .
Note: The factory default setting is 3.2 mm (0.125
inch).
Adjusting the Number of
Cutting-Unit Blades
Navigate to the B LADE C OUNT option to adjust the
number of cutting-unit blades. Determine the number
of blades in your equipped cutting units, and select
the appropriate value (5, 8, 1 1, or 14).
Note: The factory default setting is 1 1.
Adjusting the Maximum Mowing
Speed
Navigate to the M AX M OW option to adjust the
maximum mowing speed. Y ou can adjust the speed
from 4.8 km/h (3.0 mph) to 8.0 km/h (5.0 mph) in
increments of 0.3 km/h (0.2 mph).
Note: The factory default setting is 6.1 km/h (3.8
mph).
Adjusting the Maximum T ransport
Speed
Navigate to the M AX T RANSPORT option to adjust the
maximum transport speed. Y ou can adjust the speed
from 8.0 km/h (5.0 mph) to 16.0 km/h (10.0 mph) in
increments of 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph).
Note: The factory default setting is 16.0 km/h (10.0
mph).
Adjusting the Maximum Reverse
Speed
Navigate to the M AX R EVERSE option to adjust the
maximum reverse speed. Y ou can adjust the speed
from 3.2 km/h (2.0 mph) to 8.0 km/h (5.0 mph) in
increments of 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph).
Note: The factory default setting is 4.0 km/h (2.5
mph).
Note: For machine-software versions A through D,
the maximum speed is 4.8 km/h (3.0 mph). Update
the machine software for the capability to set the
maximum speed to 8.0 km/h (5.0 mph).
Setting the Slow and T urn Function
Navigate to the S LOW & T URN option to set the slow
and turn function. The slow and turn function slows
the machine speed while you turn the machine for
another cutting pass on a green.
Note: The factory default setting is O FF .
Disabling an Equipped
3-Wheel-Drive Kit
Navigate to the 3WD K IT option to disable an equipped
3-Wheel-Drive Kit.
If you choose to disable this option, the kit will be
enabled again if you cycle the key switch (i.e., turn
of f, then turn on the machine) with an equipped
3-Wheel-Drive Kit.
