Hydraulic-Lift Lock
The hydraulic-lift lock secures the lift lever, so that the
hydraulic cylinders do not operate when the machine
is not equipped with a bed (
). It also locks the
lift lever in the O
N
position when using the hydraulics
for attachments.
High-Low Range Shifter
The high-low range shifter adds 3 additional speeds
for precise speed control (
):
•
You must stop the machine completely before
shifting between the H
IGH
and L
OW
range.
•
Shift on level ground only.
•
Press the clutch pedal fully.
•
Move the lever fully forward for H
IGH
and fully
rearward for L
OW
.
H
IGH
range
—For higher speed driving on level, dry
surfaces with light loads.
L
OW
range
—For low-speed driving. Use this
range when greater than normal power or control
is necessary. For example, steep grades, difficult
terrain, heavy loads, slow speed but high-engine
speed (spraying).
Important:
There is a location between H
IGH
and
L
OW
in which the transaxle is in neither range.
Do not use this position as a N
EUTRAL
position,
because the machine could move unexpectedly if
the High-Low shifter is bumped and the gear-shift
lever is in gear.
4-Wheel Drive Button
4-Wheel Drive Models Only
To engage the 4-wheel drive manually, press and
hold the 4WD button (
) on the center console
while the vehicle is in motion and the 4-wheel drive
engages.
Key Switch
Use the key switch (
) to start and shut off
the engine.
The key switch has 3 positions: O
FF
, O
N
, and S
TART
.
Rotate the key switch clockwise to the S
TART
position
to engage the starter motor. Release the key switch
when the engine starts. The key switch moves
automatically to the O
N
position.
To shut the engine off, rotate the key switch
counterclockwise to the O
FF
position.
Hour Meter
The hour meter indicates the total hours of machine
operation. The hour meter (
) starts to function
whenever you rotate the key switch to the O
N
position
or if the engine is running.
Speed-Limiter Switch
Move the speed-limiter switch (
) to the S
LOW
position and remove the key. The speed-limiter
switch limits the engine speed to 2,200 rpm when the
machine is in third gear in the H
IGH
range, which limits
the top speed to 21 km/h (13 mph).
Light Switch
Push the light switch (
) to toggle the headlights
on or off.
Oil-Pressure-Warning Light
The oil-pressure-warning light (
) illuminates if
the engine-oil pressure drops below a safe level while
the engine is running.
Important:
If the light flickers or remains on,
stop the machine, shut off the engine, and check
the oil level. If the oil level is low, but adding
oil does not cause the light to go out when the
engine is started, shut off the engine immediately,
and contact your Authorized Service Dealer for
assistance.
Check the operation of the warning lights as follows:
1.
Engage the parking brake.
2.
Turn the key switch to the O
N
/P
REHEAT
position,
but do not start the engine.
Note:
The oil-pressure light should glow red.
If the light does not function, either a bulb is
burned out or there is a malfunction in the
system that you must repair.
Note:
If engine was just shut off, it may take 1
to 2 minutes for the light to come on.
Coolant-Temperature Gauge and
Light
The coolant-temperature gauge and light registers the
coolant temperature in the engine and operates only
when the key switch is in O
N
position (
). The
indicator light blinks red if the engine overheats.
