will come on when the engine oil pressure is too low
for operation.
Ignition Switch
has four positions:
OFF - prevents all electrical functions from
operating. Switch must be in the OFF position to
remove the key.
ON - for normal operation.
START - engages the starter. Release the key after
engine starts (the switch automatically returns to
ON).
ACC. - has no function on this unit.
NOTE
If the engine fails to start, or if it “dies” for any
reason, the ignition switch must be returned to
the OFF position before restarting is attempted.
This feature prevents damage to the starter and
flywheel teeth that can occur if the starter is
engaged while the engine is running. Wait 30
seconds before restarting engine.
When the ignition is switched on, if the
units are in the lowered position they will
raise. It should be ensured that
operators/bystanders are clear of all
moving parts before the ignition switch is
switched on.

Throttle
Push all the way forward for normal engine operating
speed, and all the way back for idle.
Hour Meter
records the number of hours the engine has run. Use
the hour meter to manage a good scheduled
maintenance program (refer to the Maintenance
Guide).
Reel Enable Switch

the reels to rotate. The switch must be in the off
position (0) for the unit to be started.
Choke
Pull choke control out to start engine. In warm
weather temperatures, move choke control in slowly
over several seconds, in cold weather allow engine
to run smoothly before each change.
