Ammeter -
indicates amount of electrical flow at the
battery. Under normal operating conditions
the needle will be on the plus (+) side of
the meter, showing that current is being
supplied to the battery.
At idle speed, the indicator may be at zero
or on the negative (-) side. A continuous
negative reading at normal operating
speed indicates a malfunction in the
charging system that should be checked
immediately.
Headlight Switch -
turns the headlights on and off.
Engine Oil Warning Light -
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.
NOTICE
• 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.
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).
Pre–Heat Switch and Glow Plug Light -
With key
switch ON, push up/forward and hold the
pre–heat switch until the glow plug light
goes out (Diesel Only).
Temperature Gauge and Warning Light -
gauge
indicates coolant temperature and light
warns of overheat situation (Diesel Only).
Turf Protection System -
can be installed as an
option to warn the operator if a leak in the
hydraulic system is detected.
