Safety Switch (Where Fitted); Power Take-Off (Where Fitted); Throttle Control (Where Fitted) - Ford LRG 425 Operator's Handbook Manual

4. Start - In this position, the starter solenoid is energized and the starter motor
cranks the engine. The switch, when released, automatically returns to the RUN
position.

Safety Switch (where fitted)

A low oil pressure/high water temperature safety switch may be fitted. This
automatically shuts off the ignition when the oil pressure drops below a pre-set
value, or when the water temperature rises above a pre-set value. A button on the
instrument panel is used to override the safety switch when starting the engine.
The safety switch override button must be depressed to start the engine.

Power Take-off (where fitted)

The power take-off control handle allows engagement and disengagement of the
power take-off clutch. Moving the lever towards the engine engages the clutch and
moving the lever away from the engine disengages the clutch.
When moving the handle to engage the clutch and pick up the load, do so in a
smooth manner. Moving the clutch handle too slowly will cause slippage and wear,
while moving it too fast will cause quick engagement and possible damage to the
power take-off, engine or driven equipment. The normal force required to engage
the clutch is 55 lbf (245 N) for the over-centre type and 25 lbf (110 N) for the spring
loaded type.

Throttle Control (where fitted)

The throttle control adjusts engine speed. Initial engine speed adjustment is
obtained by pressing the throttle control release button while pulling the throttle
knob out to increase the engine speed or pushing it in to decrease the engine
speed.
A final fine speed adjustment is obtained by turning the throttle control
counterclockwise to increase engine speed or clockwise to decrease engine
speed.
