How To Repair Brakes On Scag Cougar

So even my dealer questioned this, and I really didn't pay information technology any mind beingness that it actually didn't matter to me, but how exactly is the scag safe setup supposed to operate.

Should I exist able to get up with the artillery in the neutral open position and the parking brake on with the engine running nevertheless, or will it always shut off? I know it shuts off when I go upwardly due to the seat sensor, only some mowers let you lot to "park" and undo the PTO for you, letting you lot get off to remove obstacles, then hop dorsum on and release the brake, then reset the PTO.

I am pretty sure engaging the park brake even while sitting on the mower and setting the park lock shuts the engine off too.

Merely a curiosity I had. Information technology may be prepare right. And it really doesn't affair to me, simply it just seems like I will put more wear on the starter this way, if I can't hop off and choice things upward from time to time with park locked and arms open.

Hope that sounds correct.

Thanks!

information technology should work with pakring restriction set, steer levers in open locked position and pto disengaged. Should be able to go out of seat with engine running. On mine that's how it works.

Even the dealer mentioned that, they had to have wired something backwards. I will have to bank check information technology out. If anyone has whatsoever ideas on what to look at let me know.

Simply looking at the wiring diagram for Scag Liberty Z Pro.
Other Scag ZTRs to a higher place the level of Freedom Zs have the electronic control module that controls all the rubber circuits and have safety switches that are ii terminal and a cranking relay.
The Liberty Z and Pro do not have the electronic command module nor the cranking relay. In their place, the electrical organisation is wired to use safety switches that are 4 last and basically a double switch. This removes the electronic control module and the cranking relay, just does add together more wiring.
Your Scag dealers service section will need to become knowledgeable of the systems on the Freedom Z models and how they differ from the college level machines. With the added wiring, the electric diagram is a little more than difficult to read, but yet logical.
They manner that I read the diagram and your problem, either the seat switch or the PTO switch may be lacking or wired incorrectly in the engine shut downward circuit, (white wire on the diagram) This wire, when grounded, will shut the engine down.
When I demand to read electrical diagrams, I enlarge sections of the diagram on my copy machine, then put the pieces back together so I tin can more easily read them.
Take fun!!!:laughing: I always practice!!!

Thanks. I will offset hunting down wires this weekend when I mow over again. I would promise to see, since the parking brake lever seems to cause the problem, that it's but a wire installed backwards.

There is a diagram with my manual but it'southward black and white. I will endeavour and make sense of it, and run into what happens. I'll written report back to the shop what it was, and hopefully they correct it in the hereafter. This is a high end shop, the Freedom Z was probably their everyman tier mower there. I withal dear the mower though.

Y'all tin download the manual here from Scag and the wiring diagram is in color.

Ok later mowing today, I looked at all the switches and they announced to be installed correctly. Even so Here is what I noticed. I am able to put the artillery in the Neutral / parked position, and appoint the parking brake with the unit of measurement running, all the same every bit before long every bit I attempt to get off the seat the mower dies... in Park, PTO off, at whatever throttle.

Makes me wonder if in that location is just an outcome with the Seat sensor.

Besides, after looking at the diagram of wiring, it looks fiddling dissimilar as the plugs all accept wires coming out of the 1 side of the plug, as opposed to the view that shows 2 going in 1 side and two on the other.

Also, There doesn't appear whatsoever way to wire this incorrectly. It'due south part of a harness and 1 side has a clip that clips onto the unit in a i way style. Information technology is possible the seat switch would be the trouble?

Or, is this unit supposed to shut off when you come out of the seat regardless?

Thank you,

Homer

As I read the wiring diagram for the seat switch, I think that the engine shutting down when the operator gets off the seat with the engine running, levers out, restriction lever on, PTO off, is the mode the organisation is wired.
This is dissimilar from college level Scag machines as the operator may go off the seat and the engine volition continue to run providing the same weather condition are met.

My Freedom Z works like mail service #2. Handles out, brake set, PTO off - it stays running. In fact I let information technology idle and absurd off when I'one thousand done every time while I creepo upwardly the back pack blower and blow the grass off information technology.

Just looking at the wiring diagrams of the Freedom Z Pro and older Liberty Z models, the Pro and closely related models take a unlike wiring and safety switching setup from all other Freedom Z models. At the moment I don't accept the time to expand the wiring diagrams and trace their operation, but I will do so afterwards on.
