Parking Brake

The parking brake is between the seats (Fig. 15). Whenever
the engine is shut off, the parking brake must be engaged to
prevent accidental movement of the vehicle. To engage the
parking brake, pull back on the lever. To disengage, push
the lever forward. If the vehicle is parked on a steep grade,
make sure that the parking brake is applied. Place blocks at
the downhill side of the wheels.

Choke Control
The choke control is located below and to the right of the
operator's seat. To start a cold engine, close the carburetor
choke (Fig. 16) by pulling the choke control outward to the
On position. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to
keep the engine running smoothly. As soon as possible,
open the choke by pushing the control in to the Off
position. A warm engine requires little or no choking.
Gear Shift Selector
The gear shift selector has three positions: forward, reverse,
and neutral (Fig. 16). The gear shift selector will start and
run in any of the three positions.
Note: If the gear shift selector is in Reverse when the
ignition is turned on, a buzzer will sound to warn the
operator.
Important
The vehicle should always be stopped
before changing the gear selection and direction.

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch (Fig. 17), used to start and stop the
m–5909
engine, has two positions: Off and On. Rotate the key
clockwise to the On position to allow operation. When the
vehicle is stopped, rotate the key counterclockwise to the
Off position. Remove the key from the ignition.

Hour Meter

The hour meter (Fig. 17) indicates the total number of
hours the engine is running. The hour meter starts to
function whenever the accelerator is depressed.
Oil Light
The oil light warns the operator if the engine oil pressure
drops below a safe level (Fig. 17). If the light comes on and
remains lit, the oil level should be checked and oil added if
necessary; see Engine Oil, page 29.
Note: The oil light may flicker. This is normal and no
action needs to be taken.

Light Switch

Toggle the switch to activate the headlights. Push it to turn
the lights on (Fig. 17).
