must be evenly adjusted.
Lift Lever (Fig. 6)—The hydraulic lift lever has three posi-
tions: FLOAT, TRANSPORT and RAISE. To lower the imple-
ment to the ground, move the lift lever forward into notch,
which is the FLOAT position. To raise the implement, pull the
lift lever backward to the RAISE position. After the implement
is raised, allow the lift lever to move to the TRANSPORT posi-
tion. Normally, the implement should be raised when driving
from one work area to another, except when descending steep
slopes.
Never raise the implement or cutting unit while
blades or other components are rotating. The
exposed, rotating blades are hazardous.
PTO Lever (Fig. 7)—The PTO lever has two positions: ON
(engage) and OFF (disengage). Slowly push the PTO lever
fully forward to ON to start the implement or cutting unit
blades. Slowly, pull the lever backward to OFF to stop imple-
ment operation. The only time the PTO lever should be in the
ON position is when the implement or cutting unit is down in
operating position.
IMPORTANT: If the switch ever must be overridden
because of an emergency, the engine can be started and will
continue to run while the reset button is held in.
Hour Meter (Fig. 7)—The hour meter registers the accumulat-
ed hours of engine operation. Use it to determine intervals for
service maintenance and lubrication.
Fuel Gauge (Fig. 7)—Indicates the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank.
Oil Pressure Warning Light (Fig. 7)—The oil pressure warn-
ing light will glow and a buzzer will sound if the oil pressure in
the engine drops below a safe level. If low oil pressure ever
occurs, stop the engine and find out the cause. Repair the dam-
age before starting the engine again.
Ammeter (Fig. 7)—The ammeter shows the charge rate of the
battery by the alternator. When the engine is running, there
usually is a slight charge, unless the engine is idling slowly.
The needle will point to 0 when the battery is fully charged. By
