Choke Control
The choke control is a small knob to the right of the seat.
To start a cold engine, pull the choke control up. After the
engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine running
smoothly. As soon as possible, push the control down to the
Off position. A warm engine requires little or no choking.
Range Selector
The range selector, located to the left of the seat, has 5
positions: 3 forward speeds, Neutral, and Reverse (Figure 14).
The engine will start only when the range selector is in the
Neutral position. You must also fully press the brake with
the sprayer stopped to change ranges.
Important: Do not shift out of or change ranges
while the vehicle is moving. Attempting to change
ranges while the vehicle is moving can damage the
transmission. Only stopping the sprayer completely,
and fully engaging the brake will safely disengage the
locking pin and allow the ranges to be changed.

Ignition Switch
The ignition switch (Figure 14), used to start and stop the
engine, has 3 positions: Stop, Run, and Start. Rotate the key
clockwise to the Start position to start the engine and release
it to the Run position when started. Rotate the key to the
Stop position to stop the engine.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Figure 14) indicates the total number of
hours the engine has run. The hour meter starts to function
whenever the key is turned to the Run position.
Voltmeter
The voltmeter (Figure 14) indicates the level of charge in
the battery. When the battery is fully charged, the voltmeter
will read in the center of the dial when the key is in the Run
position with the engine off. When the engine is running the
voltmeter needle should be to the right.
Headlight Switch
Toggle the switch to operate the headlights (Figure 14). Push
it forward to turn the lights on and rearward to turn them off.
Neutral Engine Speed Lock Switch
When the range selector is in the Neutral position, you can
use the accelerator pedal to speed up the engine, then push
this switch forward to set the engine at that speed. This is
necessary to run the chemical agitation while stationary or
operating attachments such as the hand sprayer (Figure 14).
