Speed Limiter
The speed limiter is a large knob located to the right of
the seat (Figure 13). It allows you to set the maximum
downward travel of the accelerator pedal, thereby
limiting the maximum rpm of the engine. This indirectly
limits the speed of the sprayer.
Note:
The vehicle controls the application rate based
on your speed and you do not need to keep a constant
speed to apply at a constant rate.

Choke Control
The choke control is a small knob to the right of the
seat. (Figure 13). To start a cold engine, pull the choke
control up. After the engine starts, regulate the choke to
keep the engine running smoothly. As soon as possible,
push the control down to the Off position. A warm
engine requires little or no choking.
Range Selector
The range selector, located to the left of the seat, has
5 positions: 3 forward speeds, Neutral, and Reverse
(Figure 14). The engine will start only when the range
selector is in the Neutral position. You must also fully
press the brake with the sprayer stopped to change
ranges.
Important:
Do not shift out of or change ranges
while the vehicle is moving. Attempting to change
ranges while the vehicle is moving can damage the
transmission. Only stopping the sprayer completely,
and fully engaging the brake will safely disengage
the locking pin and allow the ranges to be changed.

Ignition Switch
The ignition switch (Figure 14), used to start and stop
the engine, has 3 positions: Stop, Run, and Start. Rotate
the key clockwise to the Start position to start the engine
and release it to the Run position when started. Rotate
the key to the Stop position to stop the engine.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Figure 14) indicates the total number
of hours the engine has run. The hour meter starts to
function whenever the key is turned to the Run position.
