To release the brake, pull the lever rearward and right,
out of the notch, and then push it forward.
Fuel Gauge
This gauge measures the amount of fuel in the fuel
tank.
Hydraulic Oil Temperature Light
If the hydraulic oil gets too hot, this light illuminates
and an audible alarm sounds. If this happens, stop
the engine and allow the traction unit to cool.
Hour Meter
This meter displays the number of hours that the
traction unit has run since it was built.
Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Starting the Engine
1.
Ensure that the auxiliary hydraulics lever is in
neutral.
2.
Move the throttle lever midway between slow
(turtle) and fast (rabbit) positions.
3.
Pull out the choke lever if you are starting a cold
engine.
Note:
A warm or hot engine may not require
choking.
4.
Turn the ignition key to the start position. When
the engines starts, release the key.
IMPORTANT: Do not engage the starter for
more than 10 seconds at a time. If the engine
fails to start, allow a 30 second cool-down
period between attempts. Failure to follow
these instructions can burn out the starter
motor.
5.
After the engine starts, gradually push the choke
inward. If the engine stalls or hesitates, pull the
choke out again until the engine warms up.
6.
Move the throttle lever to desired setting.
IMPORTANT: If the engine is run at high
speeds when the hydraulic system is cold (i.e.,
when the ambient air temperature is near
freezing or lower), hydraulic system damage
could occur. When starting the engine in cold
conditions, allow the engine to run in the
middle throttle position for 2 to 5 minutes
before moving the throttle to fast (rabbit).
Note:
If outdoor temperature is below
freezing, store the traction unit in a
garage to keep it warmer and aid in
starting.
Stopping the Engine
1.
Move the throttle lever to the slow (turtle)
position.
2.
Lower the loader arms to the ground.
3.
Turn the ignition key off.
Note:
If the engine has been working hard or
is hot, let it idle for a minute before
turning the ignition key off. This helps
cool the engine before it is stopped. In
an emergency, the engine may be
stopped immediately.
