SET UP

WARNING

•Setup procedures must be performed as

specified by properly trained service

personnel only.

Remove the shipping cap from the fuel tank.

Replace it with the fuel gauge cap shipped with the

unit (in tool box above the left front wheel).

connections are tight and all hoses and lines are in

good condition before pressurizing the system.

GB-6

RANSOMES G PLEX II Series :WD

SAFETY AND OPERATORS MANUAL

WARNING

•If a leak is suspected, use a piece of

cardboard or wood, NOT your hands,

to check for leaks.

•Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure

can have sufficient force to penetrate

the skin, causing serious injury.

•If injured by escaping fluid, see a

doctor at once. Serious infection or

reaction can develop if proper medical

treatment is not administered

immediately.

MOUNTING THE CUTTING HEADS

Review the “OPERATION” section beginning on

Page 9 before mounting the cutting units.

NOTICE

·All Ransomes cutting heads are

backlapped at the factory, but the

bedknife adjustment must be

performed before the unit is put into

use. Refer to the Bedknife Adjustment

Procedure as described on page 8 in this

manual.

CAUTION

•Take care when handling the cutting

heads. Injury may result from contact

with the sharp edges of the reel blades.

1. Cut all shipping straps holding the front

pull frames in place and position the pull

frames so the upstop bumpers contact the

upstop brackets. Set cutting head drive

motors and hoses away from the lift arms.

2. With the reel enable switch in the off

position, lower all three cutting head lift

arms and turn off the unit and remove

ignition key.

3. Before mounting the cutting heads, make

sure the latches on the pull frames are in

the opened position (See Fig. 6).

4. Position the cutting head at the front of the

pull frame. Align the shoulder bolt on each

side of the cutting head, below and slightly

to the front of the slots on the pull frame.

Support the pull frame and roll the cutting

head back slightly until the shoulder bolt

(on the cutting head) is positioned in the

slot.

5. Pull the latch handle and pivot it to the

rear (allow the bolt head to drop into the

center hole) the latch will pivot forward and

lock under the shoulder bolt (See Fig. 7).

Repeat procedure on opposite side of the

cutting head. Install the remaining cutting

heads using the same procedure.

6. The cutting head motor mounting adaptor,

coupling and hardware are shipped in the

tool box located above the left front wheel.

Install a 1.88” i.d. x .06” (48mm x 1.5mm)

O–ring on the male side of motor adapter

plate and on motor mount face.

7. Remove and discard screws holding the

shipping cover to cutting head (retain the

shipping cover to protect the bearings

whenever the motor is removed from the

cutting head).

8. Install coupler on cutting head shaft (See

Fig. 8).

9. Apply a small amount of Loctite™ 242

threadlocker (or equivalent) to the short

thread end of two (2) 5/16–18 x 2” studs

and install the studs in the two tapped

holes on the right hand end of the cutting

head.

10. Install motor adapter plate over the two

studs positioning the male face and O–ring

toward the cutting head.

11. Install two (2) 5/16–18 smooth flange face

nuts loosely onto the studs (See Fig. 9).

12. Align the splines on the motor shaft with

the coupler and slide the motor into place

rotating approximately 45_ away from the

mounting studs. With motor face against

adapter plate, rotate the motor mounting

flange into place engaging the studs into

the motor mounting flange slots. Tighten

flange nuts.

13. Add lithium based lubricant to the bearing

housings at BOTH ends of the reels (refer

to the lubrication fitting in Figure 9).

Bearings at both ends are partially packed

with lubricant at the factory, but additional

lubricant is required once assembled. Use

a pressure gun to add lubricant until it

starts to escape from the fittings. Wipe off

any excess lubricant.

CUTTING HEAD BALANCING

When the cutting heads are lowered to the turf, they

must contact the turf evenly across the entire

length of the cutting head. If the front cutting

heads contact the leval suface unevenly, refer to the

adjustment section in the service and parts manual.

Cutting head balance weights are shipped with the

power unit strapped to the pull frame for each

cutting head. Weights must be removed from

shipping location and installed as required on

each cutting head.

NOTICE

•Cutting heads with groomer only or

groomer with rotary brush accessories

are properly balanced and require no

weights. Remove weights as described in

the following steps. Retain weights and

hardware for use if the groomer accessory

is removed.

1. With the cutting heads mounted (as

described in the previous procedures)

place the machine on a flat, level surface.

Place the reel enable switch to the off

position and lower all three cutting head lift

arms and shut off machine and remove

the key.

2. Remove retainer pin from the pull frame

pivot shaft. Raise lift arm (by hand) to

allow the weights to be removed. Cut the

strap securing the weight stack to the pull

frame and remove weight stack. With

weight stack resting on floor or workbench,

remove the straps securing the weights

together.

3. The balancing weight attachment

hardware is shipped with the power unit

and located in the tool box above the left

front wheel. Locate two (2) 5/16–18 x 2

screws and the four tapped holes on the

left end of the cutting head.

4. While facing the left end of the cutting

head (with grease fitting located at the top)

position shaft cover and loosely install two

5/16–18 x 2 screws in upper right and

lower left tapped holes (See Fig. 10).

Leave enough space between the shaft

cover and the cutting head to slide in

seven weights.

Ammeter

indicates amount of electrical flow at the

battery. Under normal operating conditions

the needle will be on the plus (+) side of

the meter, showing that current is being

supplied to the battery. At idle speed, the

indicator may be at zero or on the

negative (-) side. A continuous negative

reading at normal operating speed

indicates a malfunction in the charging

system that should be checked

immediately.

Engine Oil Warning Light

will come on when the engine oil pressure

is too low for operation.

Ignition Switch

has four positions:

OFF - prevents all electrical functions from

operating. Switch must be in the OFF

position to remove the key.

ON - for normal operation.

START - engages the starter. Release the

key after engine starts (the switch

automatically returns to ON).

ACC. - has no function on this unit.

NOTICE

•If the engine fails to start, or if it “dies”

for any reason, the ignition switch

must be returned to the OFF position

before restarting is attempted. This

feature prevents damage to the starter

and flywheel teeth that can occur if the

starter is engaged while the engine is

running. Wait 30 seconds before

restarting engine.

Throttle Push all the way forward for normal engine

operating speed, and all the way back for

idle.

Headlight Switch

turns the headlights on and off.

Hour Meter

Records the number of hours the engine

has run. Use the hour meter to manage a

good scheduled maintenance program

(refer to the Maintenance Guide).

Pre–Heat Switch and Glow Plug Light

With key switch ON, push up/forward and

hold the pre–heat switch until the glow

plug light goes out.

Temperature Gauge and Warning Light

gauge indicates coolant temperature and

light warns of overheat situation.

Turf Protection System

Can be installed as an option to warn the

operator if a leak in the hydraulic system is

detected.

Reel Enable Switch

This switch must be in the on position ( l )

in order for the reels to rotate. The switch

must be in the off position ( O ) for the unit

to be started.

CONTROL PEDALS

The Direction/Speed Pedal (See Fig. 13) controls

speed and direction. Depress front of pedal to go

forward, depress back of pedal to go backward.

Increased movement of the pedal will increase

speed.

To slow and stop the unit, release the pedal

completely. Proper braking is provided by

hydrostatic pressure.
