POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Machine can spin very rapidly by positioning one lever
too much ahead of the other.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Operator may lose control of the machine, which may
cause damage to the machine or injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Use caution when making turns.
♦ Slow the machine down before making sharp turns.
Tracking Adjustment Knob: Located under the seat on the LH pump control link.
Rotating this knob allows fine tuning adjustments so that the unit tracks straight
with the drive levers in the full forward position.
Stop machine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Engage park brake. Tilt seat
forward to gain access to the tracking knob. Rotate the knob clockwise (as
viewed from the rear of the machine) to cause the machine to track more to the
right and counterclockwise to cause the machine to track more to the left. Adjust
in quarter-turn increments until the machine tracks straight. Check that the
machine does not creep when in neutral with the park brakes disengaged.
IMPORTANT: Do not rotate the knob too far, as this may cause the unit to
creep in neutral. Refer to section 5.2.13 for control linkage adjustment.
PTO Engagement Switch: Located just left of center on the console (left side of
ignition switch). Switch must be pulled out to the "ROTATE" position to engage
the blades. Switch is pushed in to the "STOP" position to stop the blades.
Choke Control (31 HP Daihatsu Gas Units Only): Located at lower center of console
(right side of ignition switch). Choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine. The
choke control is pulled out to be in the "ON" position and pushed in to be in the
"OFF" position. DO NOT run a warm engine with choke in the "ON" position.
Throttle Control: Located on console just right of center.
Throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving throttle lever forward will increase
engine speed and moving throttle lever to the rear will decrease engine speed.
Brake Lever: Located on left side of unit, just to the front of the console. The
brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive wheels.
Pull the lever up and rearward to engage the brake.
Push the lever forward and down to disengage the brake.
The unit must be tied down and brake engaged when transporting.
Ignition Switch: Located on the lower center of console.
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The switch has three
positions "OFF", "ON" and "START". Insert the key into switch and rotate
clockwise to the "ON" position. Rotate clockwise to the next position to engage
the starter (key must be held against spring pressure in this position).
NOTE: On 27 HP Daihatsu Diesel units a glow plug light, located to the right of the
ignition switch, will illuminate when the switch is turned to the "ON" position. The
glow plug light indicates the glow plugs are preheating the combustion chamber.
Wait until the light goes out before rotating the key to the "START" position.
Brake must be engaged, motion control levers out (neutral lock position)
and PTO switch "OFF" to start engine. (It is not necessary for the operator to
be in the seat to start the engine.)
Hour Meter: Located on center of console. The hour meter is to record the
number of hours that the engine has run. If the ignition switch is left "ON" without
engine running, the hour meter will continue to run.
