Key Switch
The key switch, used to start and stop the engine, has
three positions: off, run, and start.
To start the engine, rotate the key to the start position.
Release the key when engine starts and it will move
automatically to the run position.
To stop the engine, rotate the key to the off position.
Throttle Lever
Move the control forward to increase the engine speed and
rearward to decrease speed.
Choke Lever
Before starting a cold engine, move the choke lever
forward. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to
keep the engine running smoothly. As soon as possible,
move the choke lever all the way rearward.
Note: A warm engine requires little or no choking.
Reference Bar
When driving the traction unit, use the reference bar as a
handle and a leverage point for controlling the traction
control and the auxiliary hydraulics lever. To ensure
smooth, controlled operation, do not take both hands off
of the reference bar while operating the traction unit.
