(Figure 17) is set at the factory to provide 3 MPH
maximum speed in reverse.
Starter Switch
The starter switch (Figure 19), used to start, stop, and
preheat the engine, has three positions: Off, On, and
Start. Rotate the key clockwise to the On position and
hold it until the glow plug light goes out. Then rotate
the key clockwise to the Start position to engage the
starter motor. Release the key when the engine starts.
The key will move automatically to the On position. To
shut the engine off, rotate the key counterclockwise to
the Off position. Remove the key from the switch to
prevent accidental starting.

Throttle
Moving the throttle (Figure 19) upward increases the
engine speed and downward decreases the engine speed.
Cutting Unit Lift Lever
The lift lever (Figure 19) has three positions: Lower,
Raise, and Neutral. To lower the cutting units to the
ground, move the lift lever forward. When lowering the
cutting units, make sure that the front hydraulic cylinder
is completely retracted before releasing the lift lever.
The cutting units will not operate unless the cylinder is
retracted. To raise the cutting units, pull the lift lever
rearward to the Raise position.

Disengage. The push-pull switch operates a solenoid
valve on the valve bank, to drive the cutting units.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Figure 20) indicates the total hours of
machine operation. The hour meter starts to function
whenever the key switch is rotated to the On position.

Water Temperature Light
The water temperature light (Figure 20) glows and
the engine automatically shuts down when the engine
coolant temperature gets too high.
