Throttle
Moving the throttle (Fig. 29) upward increases the engine
speed and downward decreases the engine speed.
Cutting Unit Lift Lever
The lift lever (Fig. 29) has three positions: LOWER,
RAISE, and NEUTRAL. To lower the cutting units to the
ground, move the lift lever forward. When lowering the
cutting units, make sure that the front hydraulic cylinder is
completely retracted before releasing the lift lever. The
cutting units will not operate unless the cylinder is
retracted. To raise the cutting units, pull the lift lever
rearward to the RAISE position. To decrease play in the
lever, tighten the retaining locknut.

Cutting Unit Drive Switch
The switch (Fig. 29) has two positions: ENGAGE and
DlSENGAGE. The push-pull switch operates a solenoid
valve on the valve bank, to drive the cutting units. A yellow
light on the dash indicates when the reels are rotating.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Fig. 29) indicates the total hours of
machine operation. The Hour Meter starts to function
whenever the key switch is rotated to "ON" position.

Temperature Gauge

The temperature gauge (Fig. 29) registers coolant
temperature in the system.
Oil Pressure Light
The oil pressure light (Fig. 29) glows if the engine oil
pressure drops below a safe level.
Water Temperature Light
The water temperature light (Fig. 29) glows and the engine
automatically shuts down when the engine coolant
temperature gets too high.
Alternator Light
The amp light (Fig. 29) 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 indicator light (Fig. 29) will glow when glow plugs are
operating.
Cold Start Button
When starting a cold engine, press the cold start button
(Fig. 29) to electrically de-clutch the traction pump. When
the engine starts, release the button.

Parking Brake

Whenever the engine is shut off, the parking brake must be
engaged to prevent accidental movement of the machine.
To engage the parking brake, pull back on the lever.
