Controls

Traction and Stopping Pedal (Fig. 9, 10, & 11)—The
traction pedal has three functions: one, to make the
machine move forward; two, to move it backward; and
three, to stop it. Using the heel and toe of your right
foot, depress the top of the pedal to move forward and
bottom of the pedal to move backward or to assist in
stopping when moving forward. Also, move the pedal to
the neutral position to stop the machine. For your com-
fort, do not rest the heel of your foot on reverse when
operating forward.

The reverse pedal stop (under the pedal) is set at the fac-
tory to provide 4.8 kmh (3 mph) maximum speed in

Ignition Switch
Diesel Models (Fig. 12)—The ignition switch,
which is used to start, stop and preheat the engine,
has four positions: OFF, ON, START and GLOW
PLUGS (PREHEAT).
To start the engine, turn the key counterclockwise—
GLOW PLUG position—and hold it there for 20 to
30 seconds, then, turn the key clockwise to the
START position to engage the starter motor.
Release the key when the engine starts. The key
will move automatically to ON. To shut off the
engine, turn the key counterclockwise to OFF.
Remove the key from the switch and install the
switch cover to prevent accidental starting.
Gasoline Models (Fig. 13)—The ignition switch,
which is used to start, stop and preheat the engine,
has three positions: OFF, ON, and START.
Throttle (Figures 12 and 13)—The throttle is used to
operate the engine at various speeds. Moving the throttle
upward increases engine speed; downward decreases
engine speed. The throttle controls the speed of the reel
blades and, with the traction pedal, controls the
machine's ground speed. Position the control in MOW
