Controls

Ignition Switch (Fig. 6)—The ignition switch, which is used to
start and stop the engine, has three positions: OFF, ON and
START.
Choke (Fig. 6)—To start the engine, close the carburetor choke
by pulling the choke control outward to the FULL position.
After the engine starts, regulate the choke to keep the engine
running smoothly. As soon as possible, open the choke by push-
ing it inward to the OFF position.
Throttle (Fig. 6)—The throttle is used to regulate engine speed.
Moving the throttle forward increases engine speed— FAST;
rearward decreases engine speed—SLOW.
Spray Wash Control (Fig. 6)—Pull the handle upward to acti-
vate the roller spray wash system. Move the control knob up or
down to adjust spray rate to keep rollers free of debris.
Hour Meter (Fig. 6)—The hour meter registers accumulated
hours of engine operation. Use the hour meter to determine
intervals for service maintenance and lubrication.
Water Pressure Gauge (Fig. 6)—Registers supply water pres-
sure in the system. Also acts as a interlock switch preventing the
water pump from starting if water pressure is below 138–193
kPa or stopping the water pump if the water pressure drops
below 48–89.6 kPa. Check the gauge frequently to monitor the
water pressure.
Circuit Breaker Reset Button (Fig. 6)—a push button to reset
breaker, after correcting malfunctions in the electrical system.
The button also serves as a switch to interrupt power to the
relays.
Spacing Control Lever (Fig. 6)—Moving the control away
from handle increases the aerating ground speed and distance
between holes. Moving the control toward the handle decreases
aerating ground speed and distance between holes. The setting
will be overridden when the machine is shifted to the transport
position.
Traction Bail (Fig. 7)—Engages and regulates fore and aft trac-
tion operation of the machine. Releasing the bail stops traction
operation and will also stop water injection in 3 to 4 seconds,
unless the bail is engaged. Transport speed is regulated by the
distance the bail is moved.
Transport/Aerate Toggle Switch (Fig.7 )—Lowers the machine
