Ignition Switch

Throttle
Throttle (Fig. 22) is used to operate engine at various
speeds. Moving throttle forward increases engine speed —
FAST; rearward decreases engine speed — SLOW. The
throttle controls the speed of the cutter blades and, in
conjunction with traction pedal, controls ground speed of
the traction unit. The detent is the high idle position.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Fig. 22) registers accumulated hours of
engine operation.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
The temperature warning light (Fig. 22) glows and the
implement stops if the engine coolant temperature is high.
If the traction unit is not stopped and the coolant
temperature rises another 20° F, the engine will kill.
Choke
To start engine, close carburetor choke (Fig. 22) by pulling
choke control upward. After engine starts, regulate choke to
keep engine running smoothly. As soon as possible, open
the choke by pushing it inward. A warm engine requires
little or no choking.
Charge Indicator
Illuminates when system charging circuit malfunctions
(Fig. 22).
Oil Pressure Warning Light

pressure in engine drops below a safe level. If low oil
pressure ever occurs, stop engine and determine the cause.
Repair the damage before starting the engine again.
