Horn Button; Coolant Temperature Gauge; Hour Meter; Light Switch - Toro 07213 Operator's Manual

Horn Button

Pressing button activates horn (Fig. 22).

Coolant Temperature Gauge

Registers coolant temperature in engine. Operates only
when ignition switch is in On position (Fig. 22).
Engine Low Oil Pressure Light
Light glows (Fig. 22) if engine oil pressure drops below a
safe level while engine is running. If light flickers or
remains ON, stop vehicle, turn off engine and check oil
level. If oil level was low, but adding oil does not cause
light to go out when engine is restarted, turn engine off
immediately and contact your local TORO distributor for
assistance.
Important
Do not operate vehicle until repair is
complete. Failure to observe this precaution may result in
damage to the engine.
Glow Plug Switch and Indicator
Use to preheat engine cylinders prior to cold engine starting
procedures — cylinders are preheated automatically during
warm engine start operation. For cold starting, push switch
lever upward and hold while watching indicator (Fig. 22).
Indicator will glow orange when the glow plugs are
activated. Length of time necessary to preheat cylinders
should be determined by atmospheric temperature; refer to
Starting /Stopping Engine.

Ignition Switch

The ignition switch (Fig. 22), used to start and stop the
engine, has three positions: OFF, ON/Preheat and START.
Rotate key clockwise — START position — to engage
starter motor. Release key when engine starts. The key will
move automatically to the ON position. To shut engine off,
rotate key counterclockwise to OFF position.
Charge Indicator
Illuminates when battery is being discharged. If light
illuminates during operation, stop vehicle, turn off engine
and check for possible causes, such as alternator belt
(Fig. 22).
Important If alternator belt is loose or broken, do not
operate vehicle until adjustment or repair is complete.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to
the engine.
To check operation of warning lights:
Apply parking brake.
Turn ignition key to "ON", but do not start engine. The
charge indicator and oil pressure lights should glow. If
any light does not function, either a bulb is burned out
or there is a malfunction in the system which must be
repaired.
Note: Two functions of the warning light cluster are not
used: glow plug and high water temperature.

Hour Meter

Indicates the total hours of machine operation. The hour
meter (Fig. 23) starts to function whenever the key switch
is rotated to "ON" position.

Light Switch

Toggle switch (Fig. 23) to activate headlights. Push to turn
lights "ON".

Fuel Gauge

Shows amount of fuel in tank. Operates only when ignition
switch is in "ON" position (Fig. 23).
