The throttle lever controls the speed of the engine.
Moving the throttle lever forward toward the Fast

The glow plug indicator light turns on when the ignition
switch is turned to the On position. It remains lit for 6
seconds. When the light turns off, the engine is ready
to be started.

Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
This light glows and the powered attachments will stop
if the engine coolant temperature is high. But the engine
will continue to run. If the machine is not stopped and
the coolant temperature rises another 20° F, the engine
will stop.
Important: If the attachment shuts down and the
temperature warning light is on, push PTO knob
down, drive to a safe flat area, move the throttle
lever to the Slow position, move the motion control
levers into the neutral locked position, and engage
the parking brake. Allow the engine to idle for
several minutes while it cools to a safe level. Stop
the engine and check the cooling system; refer to
Checking the Cooling System in Cooling System
Maintenance.
Charge Indicator
Illuminates when the system charging circuit
malfunctions.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure warning light glows when the oil
pressure in the engine drops below a safe level. If low
oil pressure ever occurs, stop the engine and determine
the cause. Repair the damage before starting the engine
again.
