17 - INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
ELECTRIC FUEL SHUT OFF
Turning the ignition switch to the “OFF” position
will stop the engine.
IGNITION SWITCH
The Ignition switch has three positions.
OFF - Engine and all electrical circuits off.
ON - Power supplied to all circuits. Glow plug
will warm while the key is initially turned to this
position. After the unit is started, this is the
normal operating position.
IMPORTANT: The glow plug light will stay
on for 15 seconds. Wait until the glow plug
light goes out before turning the engine
over.
START - Starter activated. This position
spring-loaded to “ON”.
IMPORTANT: To prolong starter life, use
short starting cycles not exceeding 15
seconds.
TEMPERATURE LIGHT
The temperature light will only activate when an
overheat situation occurs. The engine will continue
to run, but the mower deck will shut off and the
temperature light will activate when the coolant
temperature hits 230° F (110° C). Once the engine
has cooled
sufficiently, the light will turn off. Before
the mower deck will turn back on after an overheat
situation, it is necessary to push the PTO switch
to the off position and pull it back on.
ENGINE SPEED LEVER
CAUTION: Always control ground
speed to insure safe operation. Re-
duce speed prior to turning or back-
ing the mower.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT “race” or exces-
sively load a cold engine.
The engine speed lever controls the engine RPM
of the unit. Engine RPM increases as the engine
speed lever is moved forward. Decreased engine
RPM is achieved by moving the lever rearward.
PTO ENGAGEMENT
The PTO (Power Take Off) engagement switch will
be used to activate the mower for use. When the
switch is in the up “ON” position, the mower deck
will be engaged. When the PTO switch is down,
the PTO is disengaged.
IMPORTANT: When engaging the PTO,
always engage it while the engine is run-
ning at full RPM.
HOUR METER
The hour meter keeps track of how many hours
the power unit has been in operation.
The hour meter works electronically and is ac-
tivated when a current is sensed in the engine
magneto.
