The operator could be seriously injured.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Key Switch
The key switch, used to start and stop the engine, has
four positions: off, on, glow, and start. Rotate the key
clockwise to the glow position and hold it for 5–7
seconds (longer when the temperature is below
freezing), then to the start position to engage the
starter motor. Release the key when the engine starts.
The key will move automatically to the on position.
To shut the engine off, rotate the key
counterclockwise to the off position.

Throttle Lever
The throttle lever regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Move the
throttle up to increase engine speed or down to
decrease speed.
Place the throttle lever in the fast (rabbit) position for
best performance during operation.
Note: Throttle position can be utilized to
operate at slower speeds.
Traction Control Levers
To move forward, slowly push the traction control
levers forward. To move rearward, slowly push the
traction control levers rearward.
To go straight, apply equal pressure to both traction
control levers.
To turn, decrease pressure on the traction control
lever toward the direction you want to turn.
The farther you move the traction control levers in
either direction, the faster the traction unit will move
in that direction.
To slow or stop, move the traction control levers to
neutral.
Attachment Tilt Lever
To tilt the attachment forward, slowly push the
attachment tilt lever forward.
To tilt the attachment rearward, slowly pull the
attachment tilt lever rearward.
Loader Arm Lever
To lower the loader arms, slowly push the loader arm
lever forward.
