Operation
Note:
Determine the left and right sides of the
machine from the normal operating position.
Controls
Motion Control Levers
The motion control levers located on each side of the
console control the forward and reverse motion of
the machine. The levers control the flow of hydraulic
oil from the hydrostatic pump to the drive wheel
motor for each side.
Moving the levers forward or backward turns the
wheel on the same side forward or in reverse. Wheel
speed is proportional to the amount the lever is
moved.
Moving the levers outward from the center position
into the T-slot locks them in the neutral position
(Figure 6).
Choke Control
Located on right fuel tank console.
The choke is used to aid in starting a cold engine.
Moving the choke lever forward will put the choke in
the “ON” position and moving the choke lever to the
rear, to the detent, will put the choke in the “OFF”
position. Do Not run a warm engine with choke in
the “ON” position.
Throttle Control
Located on right fuel tank console.
The throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving
the throttle lever forward will increase engine speed
and moving the throttle lever to the rear will decrease
engine speed. Moving the throttle forward into the
detent is full throttle.
Park Brake Lever
Located on left side of unit, between the seat and the
dummy tank.
The brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive
wheels.
Pull the lever up and rearward to engage the brake.
Push the lever forward and down to disengage the
brake.
The unit must be tied down and brake engaged when
transporting.
Ignition Switch
Located on right fuel tank console.
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the
engine. The switch has three positions “OFF”, “ON”
and “START”. Insert key into switch and rotate
clockwise to the “ON” position. Rotate clockwise to
the next position to engage the starter (key must be
held against spring pressure in this position).
Note:
Brake must be engaged, motion control levers
out (neutral lock position), and PTO switch “OFF”
to start engine. (It is not necessary for the operator
to be in the seat to start the engine.)
Hour Meter
Located on the right fuel tank console.
The hour meter is connected to a pressure switch
installed in the engine block and it records the
number of hours that the engine has run. If the
ignition switch is left on without engine running,
hour meter will not run.
Note:
This switch is not a low oil sensor and will not
alert the operator if the engine oil is low.
Fuel Shut-Off Valve
Located in fuel line by fuel tank and fuel filter.
The fuel shut-off valve is used to shut off the fuel
when the machine will not be used for a few days,
during transport to and from the jobsite, and when
parked inside a building.
Rotate the valve 1/4 turn clockwise to shut off fuel.
Rotate the valve 1/4 turn counterclockwise to turn
on fuel.
Fuel Gauge
Located at the rear of the right fuel tank.
The fuel gauge monitors the amount of fuel in the
right fuel tank only. The left tank does not hold fuel.
