Hour Meter
The hour meter (Fig. 23) indicates the total hours of
machine operation. The hour meter starts to function
whenever the key switch is On.
Cutting Unit Shift Lever
To lower the cutting units to the ground, move the cutting
unit shift lever (Fig. 23) forward. The cutting units will not
drop unless the engine is running. To raise the cutting units,
pull the shift lever rearward to the Raise position.
Move the lever to the right or left to move the cutting units
in the same direction. This should only be done when the
cutting units are raised or if they are on the ground and the
machine is moving.
Note: The lever does not have to be held in the forward
position while the cutting units are lowered.

Danger
Shifting the cutting units downhill decreases
machine stability. This could cause a rollover,
which may result in personal injury or death.
Shift the cutting units uphill while on a side hill.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
The temperature warning light (Fig. 23) glows if the engine
coolant temperature is high. If the traction unit is not
stopped and the coolant temperature rises another 10 F, the
engine will kill.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure warning light (Fig. 23) glows if the engine
oil pressure drops below a safe level.
Alternator Light
The alternator light (Fig. 23) should be off when the engine
is running. If it is on, the charging system should be
checked and repaired as necessary.
Glow Plug Indicator
The glow plug indicator light (Fig. 23) will glow when the
glow plugs are operating.
Parking Brake
Whenever the engine is shut off, the parking brake (Fig. 23)
must be engaged to prevent accidental movement of the
machine. To engage the parking brake, pull up on the lever.
The engine will stop if the traction pedal is depressed with
the parking brake engaged.
Lift Lever Lock
Move the lift lever lock (Fig. 23) rearward to prevent the
cutting units from dropping.
