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

The throttle, in conjunction with motion control levers,
controls ground speed of the machine. Always run the

using attachments.

The power take off (PTO) switch starts and stops
powered attachments.
Hour Meter
The hour meter records the number of hours the engine
has operated. It operates when the key switch is in the
Run position. Use these times for scheduling regular
maintenance.
Glow Plug Light (Orange Light)
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.
