Raise/Lower Mow Control
Moving the control (Figure 18) forward during operation
lowers the cutting units and starts the reels. Pull back on
the control to stop the reels and raise the cutting units.
During operation the reels can be stopped by pulling
back on the control momentarily and releasing it. Restart
the reels by moving the control forward.
Functional Control Lever
The functional control lever (Figure 18) provides
two traction selections plus a Neutral position. It is
permissible to shift from mow to transport or transport
to mow (not to neutral) while the machine is in motion.
No damage will result.
• Rear Position—neutral and backlapping
• Middle Position—used for mowing operation
• Front Position—used for transport operation
Ignition Switch
Insert the key into the switch (Figure 18) and turn it
clockwise as far as possible to the Start position to start
the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine starts;
the key will move to the On position. Turn the key
counterclockwise to the Off position to stop the engine.

Battery Warning Light
The light (Figure 18) glows if the battery charge is low.
Engine Oil Pressure Light
The light (Figure 18) glows if the engine oil pressure
drops below a safe level.
Water Temperature Light
The light (Figure 18) glows and the engine automatically
shuts down when the engine coolant temperature gets
too high. If the engine shuts down, you can start the
engine and drive the machine for 10 seconds before it
will shutdown again, allowing you to move the machine
to a location where you can allow it to cool down.
Service Indicator Light
The service indicator light (Figure 18) illuminates
when the machine sensors detect an issue with one of
the systems of the machine. If this light illuminates,
stop what you are doing and drive to a safe location
where you or a service technician can diagnose
the problem. For more information on diagnosing
system issues using the service indicator light, refer to
Diagnosing the Service Indicator Light (page 49).
Glow Plug Indicator Light
When the glow plug indicator light (Figure 18) is lit, it
indicates the glow plugs are on.
Note: The glow plug indicator light may illuminate for
a short time after the engine has started; this is normal.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Figure 19) indicates the total hours the
machine has operated. It starts to function whenever the
key switch is rotated to On.
