Ignition Switch
Three positions: OFF, RUN and START. (Figure 18).
Throttle
Throttle (Figure 18) 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 machine. The detent is the high idle
position.

Hour Meter
The hour meter (Figure 18) registers accumulated hours
of engine operation.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
The temperature warning light (Figure 18) glows and
the implement stops if the engine coolant temperature
is high. If the machine is not stopped and the coolant
temperature rises another 20° F, the engine will kill.
Choke
To start engine, close carburetor choke (Figure 18)
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
(Figure 18).
Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure warning light (Figure 18) glows when
oil 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.
Lift Lever Lock
Lock lift lever (Figure 18), in raised position, when
performing maintenance on deck.
