4.1.8 Ignition Switch: Located on the lower center of console.
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The switch has three
positions “OFF”, “ON” and “START”. Insert key into switch and rotate clockwise
to the “ON” position. Rotate clockwise to the next position to engage the starter
(key must be held against spring pressure in this position).
Brake must be engaged, motion control levers out (neutral lock position)
and PTO switch “OFF” to start engine. (It is not necessary for the operator to
be in the seat to start the engine.)
4.1.9 Hour Meter: Located just left of center on console. The hour meter is connected
to a pressure switch installed in the engine block and it records the number of
hours that the engine has run. If the ignition switch is left on without engine
running, hour meter will not run.
NOTE: This switch is not a low oil sensor and will not alert the operator if the
engine oil is low.
4.1.10 Fuel Shut-Off Valve: Located directly below center of console. The fuel shut-off
valve is used to shut off the fuel when the machine will not be used for a few days,
during transport to and from the job site, and when parked inside a building. The
valve has three positions, each position made in 1/4 turn increments.

4.1.11 Drive Wheel Release Valves: Located on the top left front corner of hydrostatic
pumps. Drive wheel release valves are used to release the hydrostatic drive
system to allow the machine to be pushed without the engine running. Unhook
seat latch and tilt seat up to gain access to pumps.
With a 5/8 wrench, turn both valves one turn counter-clockwise to release drive system.
Turn clockwise to reset system.
DO NOT overtighten. DO NOT tow machine.
4.2 PRE-START
4.2.1 Fill fuel tanks. For best results use only clean, fresh regular grade unleaded
gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Regular grade leaded gasoline
may also be used; however, combustion chamber and cylinder head will require
more frequent service. See Engine Owner's Manual.
DO NOT add oil to gasoline.
DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank so that the fuel level rises
above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for fuel
expansion and prevent fuel spillage.
4.2.2 Make sure you understand the controls, their locations, their functions, and their
safety requirements.
4.2.3 Refer to Maintenance, Section 5, and perform all the necessary inspection and
maintenance steps.
4.3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.3.1 Operate units with the roll bar in the raised and locked position and use seat belt.
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is down. If it is necessary to lower
roll bar do not wear the seat belt. Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.
4.3.2 Open fuel shut-off valve (left or right tank).
