Y. ROLL OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE (ROPS)
ROPS Position
Refer to Figure 21 and the following descriptions and uses for the three (3) positions
for the ROPS.
• TRANSPORT: Only to be used when transporting the mower or when they need
to be momentarily folded-down to avoid contact with items such as tree limbs,
clothes lines, guy wires, utility poles, buildings, etc.
• TRANSPORT WITH BAGGER: Allows for the ROPS to be lowered for situations
outlined for the TRANSPORT position when the mower is equipped with a bagger.
• OPERATION: The ROPS should always be in this position when operating unless
the situations involved outlined in the TRANSPORT and TRANSPORT WITH BAGGER
descriptions arise.
1. To change the position of the ROPS, pull slightly up/push forward on the upper
ROPS to relieve any tension on the locking pin (a) and rotate the locking pin
(a) from the LOCKED (b) position into the ADJUSTMENT (c) position. Repeat the
procedure for the locking pin on the opposite side (Figure 22).
2. Move the ROPS into the desired position. The three positions are TRANSPORT
position, TRANSPORT WITH BAGGER position and OPERATION position (Figure 21).
3. Rotate both locking pins into the LOCKED position. Move the upper ROPS slightly
until the locking pins are fully engaged in the LOCKED position.
Z. ACCESSORY SWITCH RECEPTACLES
The two receptacles for optional accessories are on the RH console. See the
Replacement Parts and Accessories section for information.

OPERATION
AA. 12V OUTLET (IF EQUIPPED)
The 12V outlet is located to the right of the operator's seat on the lower panel of the
RH console and is used for the convenience of plugging in accessories that require a
power source with a maximum load of 5A at 12V.
AB. FUEL GAUGE(S) (IF EQUIPPED)
There is a fuel gauge on top of each of the two
fuel tanks or a single gauge to the right of the
operator's seat on the RH console. The gauges
measure the fuel level in each tank.
AC. FUEL VALVES
Dual Valve Models (if equipped) - The fuel valves are located
near the rear of each fuel tank. The valves control the fuel flow
from the right and left tank and also can shut off fuel flow to the
engine. Rotate the valve counterclockwise to open the flow from
the tank(s). Rotate the valve clockwise to stop the flow from the
tank(s). The fuel tanks can be operated together, independently or
shut the fuel flow off completely.
NOTE: If both tanks are on, and one is empty, the engine will not start. Be certain to
make sure both tanks have fuel or that the empty tank's fuel valve is closed.
Single Valve Models (if
equipped) - The fuel valve
is located on the right side of the mower, between the right fuel tank and engine.
The valve controls the fuel flow from the right and left tank and can also shut off
fuel flow to the engine. Rotate the valve clockwise to open the flow from the right
tank (valve pointing at right tank). Rotate the valve counterclockwise to open the
flow from the left tank (valve pointing at left tank. Rotate the valve halfway (valve
pointing at operator's seat) to shut fuel flow off completely.
NOTE: If fuel flow is shut off, the engine will not start.
AD. GLOBAL POSITIONING MODULE (GPM) (SUREPATH AUTO
STEER SYSTEM)
The Global Positioning Module
(GPM), mounted to the front of the
steering wheel column, is the main
component of the SurePath Auto
Steer system.
The GPM includes:
• Light Module (Indicator/
Warning Lights) - the Indicator/
Warning Lights are mounted on the back (facing the operator) of the GPM
and visually communicate the status of the SurePath Auto Steer system to the
operator. The two lights will always match in color and operation (flashing
or solid).
• 4G Modem Antenna - integrated antenna for the 4G Modem.
• On-Board Computer - the GPM houses the main microprocessors, software and
logic to provide guidance to the equipment's drive systems.
See Service in the Product Care section for information on servicing the GPM.
