conjunction with the lower mow/raise control lever to
operate the cutting units.
The cutting units cannot
be lowered when the mow/transport lever is in the
transport position.

Lower Mow/Raise Control Lever
This lever ( Figure 23 ) raises and lowers the cutting
units and also starts and stops the cutterheads
when the cutterheads are enabled in the mow mode.
The cutting units cannot be lowered when the
mow/transport lever is in the transport position.
Note:
When the cutting units are enabled, the lever
does not have to be held in the forward position while
the cutting units are lowered or raised.
Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light
The temperature warning light ( Figure 23 ) glows if
the engine coolant temperature is high. The cutting
units will be disabled. If the coolant temperature rises
another 5.5° C (10° F), the engine will be shut off to
prevent further damage.
Oil-Pressure Warning Light
The oil-pressure warning light ( Figure 23 ) glows if the
engine-oil pressure drops below a safe level.
Alternator Light
The alternator light ( Figure 23 ) 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 glow-plug indicator light ( Figure 23 ) glows when
the glow plugs are operating.

Whenever the engine is shut off, engage the parking
brake (
Figure 23 ) to prevent accidental movement of
the machine. To engage the parking brake, pull up on
the lever. The engine stops if you press the traction
pedal with the parking brake engaged.
