Tilt Steering Lever
Pull the tilt steering lever (Figure 11) back to tilt the steering
wheel to the desired position. Then push the lever forward
to tighten.
Indicator Slot
The slot in the operator platform (Figure 11) indicates when
the cutting units are in the center position.
Angle Indicator
Models 30839, 30843 & 30807 only
The angle indicator (Figure 11) indicates the side hill angle of
the machine in degrees.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch (Figure 13), used to start, stop, and
preheat the engine, has three positions: Off, On/Preheat, and
Start. Rotate the key to the On/Preheat position until the
glow plug indicator light goes out (approximately 7 seconds);
then rotate the key to the Start position to engage the starter
motor. Release the key when the engine starts. The key will
move automatically to the On/Run position. To shut the
engine off, rotate the key to the Off position. Remove the key
from the switch to prevent accidental starting.

Cutting Unit Drive Switch
The cutting unit drive switch (Figure 13) has two positions:
Engage and Disengage. The rocker switch operates a solenoid
valve on the valve bank to drive the cutting units.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Figure 13) indicates the total hours of
machine operation. The hour meter starts to function
whenever the key switch is On.
Cutting Unit Shift Lever
To lower the cutting units to the ground, move the cutting
unit shift lever (Figure 13) forward. The cutting units will not
drop unless the engine is running. To raise the cutting units,
pull the shift lever rearward to the Raise position.
Move the lever to the right or left to move the cutting units
in the same direction. This should only be done when the
cutting units are raised or if they are on the ground and the
machine is moving.
Note: The lever does not have to be held in the forward
position while the cutting units are lowered.
DANGER
Shifting the cutting units downhill decreases
machine stability. This could cause a rollover,
which may result in personal injury or death.
Shift the cutting units uphill while on a side hill.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
The temperature warning light (Figure 13) glows if the engine
coolant temperature is high. If the traction unit is not stopped
and the coolant temperature rises another 10° F, the engine
will kill.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure warning light (Figure 13) glows if the engine
oil pressure drops below a safe level.
Alternator Light
The alternator light (Figure 13) should be off when the engine
is running. If it is on, the charging system should be checked
and repaired as necessary.
Glow Plug Indicator
The glow plug indicator light (Figure 13) will glow when the
glow plugs are operating.
