IMPORTANT: Do not use ether or other types of
starting fluids to start the engine.
THROTTLE CONTROL (Fig. 7)
The throttle control alters engine speed. Moving the
control forward increases engine speed—FAST; rear-
ward decreases engine speed—SLOW.
Note: The engine cannot be stopped by the throttle
control.
BATTERY CHARGING INDICATOR (Fig. 7)
The charging indicator light should be off when the
engine is running. If it is on, the charging system
should be checked and, if necessary, repaired.
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR (Fig. 7)
If the engine oil drops below a safe level, the light
glows. Stop the engine and attend to the problem before
continuing operation.
COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE & INDI-
CATOR (Fig. 7)
The coolant temperature gauge registers the system's
coolant temperature. If the temperature becomes
extreme, the engine will automatically shut off and the
high temperature indicator will light. Should this occur,
turn the ignition key to OFF, check the radiator for
debris, the fan belt condition and the expansion tank for
proper coolant level. When the coolant temperature has
lowered to a safe level, the high temperature shutoff will
automatically reset.
HOUR METER (Fig. 7)
The hour meter registers accumulated engine operating
time.
STEERING ARM HEIGHT SELECTOR
LEVER
Turn the lever counter-clockwise to loosen adjustment;
clockwise to tighten. Raise or lower the control arm for
