ENGINE OPERATION

1. Key switch

The starter switch has 4 positions.
"OFF" (engine-stop)
"ACC" (electrical power-accessories)
"ON" (engine-run)
"START" (engine-start)
NOTE :
Regarding ACC:
• All the accessories can be used while the
engine is stopped.
• Do not leave the key at "ACC" position. The
battery will be quickly discharged. Turn it back
to "OFF" after use.

2. Engine power boost

In any of the following conditions, the engine output is
boosted for higher working efficiency. For work
requiring no high output, on the other hand, the
machine runs at standard output level with fuel
economy in mind.
Trailer towing work
When the traveling speed rises above 20 km/h
(12.4 mph), the engine output boosts itself. When it
drops below 18 km/h (11.2 mph), the power boost turns
itself off.
PTO operation
When the PTO clutch is engaged, the engine output
boosts itself.

3. Rev-limiter control setting

When the rev-limiter control is used to restrict the
maximum engine speed, the engine speed will not
exceed the set speed even when the hand throttle or
foot throttle is operated. This can prevent machine
trouble caused by incorrect operation.
Setting the speed (Standard and Deluxe models)
The setting can be made both when the engine is
running and when it is stopped.
