Eac h ro w (across) in the logic c har t belo w identifies
input and output requirements for eac h specific
product function. Product functions are listed in
the left column. Symbols identify specific circuit
condition including: energized to v oltag e , closed to
g round, and open to g round.
Note: - Indicates a circuit closed to g round. - LED ON
O Indicates a circuit open to g round or de-energized - LED OFF
+ Indicates an energized circuit (clutc h coil, solenoid, or star t input) LED ON .
" " A Blank indicates a circuit that is not in v olv ed with the logic .
T o troubleshoot, tur n on the k ey without star ting

not w ork and w ork across the logic c har t. Inspect
the condition of eac h input LED’ s to ensure it

If the input LED’ s are cor rect, c hec k the output
LED . If the output LED is illuminated but the
device is not energized, measure a v ailable v oltag e
at the output device , contin uity of the disconnected
device , and potential v oltag e on the g round circuit
(floating g round). R e pairs will v ar y de pending on

Operating Tips
Mow When Grass is Dry
Mo w either in the late mor ning to a v oid the dew , whic h
causes g rass clumping, or in late after noon to a v oid the
damag e that can be caused b y direct sunlight on the
sensiti v e , freshly mo w ed g rass .
Select the Proper Height-of-Cut
Setting to Suit Conditions
R emo v e appro ximately 1 in. (25 mm) or no more than
1/3 of the g rass blade when cutting . In ex ce ptionally
lush and dense g rass , y ou ma y ha v e to raise the
height-of-cut to the next setting .
Mow at Proper Intervals
Under most nor mal conditions y ou will need to mo w
appro ximately ev er y 4-5 da ys . But remember , g rass
g ro ws at different rates at different times . T his means
that in order to maintain the same height-of-cut, whic h
is a g ood practice , y ou will need to cut more frequently
in early spring; as the g rass g ro wth rate slo ws in mid
summer , cut only ev er y 8-10 da ys . If y ou are unable to
mo w for an extended period due to w eather conditions
or other reasons , mo w first with the height-of-cut at a
high lev el; then mo w ag ain 2-3 da ys later with a lo w er
height setting .
Blade Selection
Standard Ang led Sail
T he blade g enerally perfor ms best in lo w er heights of
cut (3/4 to 2-1/2 inc h). T he optional high lift parallel
sail blade perfor ms better in the higher heights of cut
(2 to 4 inc h). Its attributes are as follo ws:
Disc harg e remains more ev en at lo w er heights of
cut.
Disc harg e has less tendency to thro w left and thus
a cleaner look around bunk ers and fairw a ys .
Lo w er po w er requirement at lo w er heights and
dense turf .
High Lift P arallel Sail
T he blade g enerally perfor ms better in the higher
heights of cut (2 to 4 inc h). Its attributes are as follo ws:
More lift and higher disc harg e v elocity .
Sparse or limp turf is pic k ed up significantly at
higher heights of cut.
W et or stic k y clippings are disc harg ed more
efficiently reducing cong estion in dec k.
