IMPORTANT: Do not rotate the knob too far, as this may cause the machine
to creep in neutral. Refer to section 4.2.13 for control linkage adjustment.
PTO Engagement Switch: Located on right fuel tank.
Switch must be pulled out to the "ROTATE" position to engage the blades.
Switch is pushed in to the "STOP" position to stop the blades.
Throttle Control: Located on right fuel tank.
Throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving throttle lever forward will increase
engine speed and moving throttle lever to the rear will decrease engine speed.
Brake Lever: Located on left side of unit, just to the front of the console. The
brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive wheels.
Pull the lever up and rearward to engage the brake.
Push the lever forward and down to disengage the brake.
The unit must be tied down and brake engaged when transporting.
Ignition Switch: Located on right fuel tank.
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The switch has three
positions "OFF", "ON" and "START". Insert key into switch and rotate clockwise
to the "ON" position. Rotate clockwise to the next position to engage the starter
(key must be held against spring pressure in this position).
Brake must be engaged, motion control levers out (neutral lock position)
and PTO switch "OFF" to start engine. (It is not necessary for the operator to
be in the seat to start the engine.)
Hour Meter: Located on the right fuel tank. The hour meter is connected to a
pressure switch installed in the engine block and it records the number of hours
that the engine has run. If the ignition switch is left on without engine running,
hour meter will not run.
NOTE: This switch is not a low oil sensor and will not alert the operator if the
engine oil is low.
Fuel Shut-Off Valve: Located directly below right side of console, next to cubby.
The fuel shut-off valve is used to shut off the fuel when the machine will not be
used for a few days, during transport to and from the job site, and when parked
inside a building. The valve has three positions, each position made in 1/4 turn
increments.

Fuel Gauge: Located on the left fuel tank.
The fuel gauge monitors the amount of fuel in the left tank only. Use the fuel
from the right fuel tank first. When the right fuel tank is empty, switch to the left
fuel tank. Fuel gauge will monitor the remaining fuel.
Drive Wheel Release Valves: Located on the top right front corner of hydrostatic
pumps. Drive wheel release valves are used to release the hydrostatic drive
system to allow the machine to be pushed without the engine running. Unhook
seat latch and tilt seat up to gain access to pumps.
With a 5/8 wrench, turn both valves one turn counter-clockwise to release drive
system. Turn clockwise to reset system. DO NOT overtighten. DO NOT tow
machine.
