Electrical System—Fuse Block
The electrical system is protected by one 5 Amp and two 15
Amp fuses located under the control panel to the operator's
right (Fig. 19). A fusible link, located by starter, is
incorporated for the protection of the entire wiring circuit.
The link can be replaced if total loss of electrical function
results. However, the reason for the malfunction should
first be found and corrected.

upon high range/low range ground speed mode(slower in
low than high range) and proportionate to how far pedal is
depressed.
Steering/Parking Brake Pedals
The left and right turn pedals are connected to the front
wheel brakes (Fig. 20). Since both brakes work
independently, they can be used to turn machine more
sharply or to increase traction if one wheel tends to slip
while operating on a hillside. However, wet grass or soft
turf can be damaged when brakes are used for turning. A
brake latch lever locks the two pedals together for parking.
Whenever the engine is shut off, set parking brake to
prevent accidental machine movement. Latch pedals
together, depress them and pull the parking brake knob at
the top of the steering tower up (Fig. 16) Depress brake
pedals to release the parking brake.
