ENGINE SPEED CONTROL KNOB
Figure 33
Engine speed control knob
The engine speed control knob (throttle) sets the rota-
tion speed of the engine (rpm). Turning counterclock-
wise (towards the turtle) sets a lower engine speed,
turning clockwise (towards the rabbit) sets a higher
engine speed.
The engine speed control knob can set engine speed
from 800 to 1400 rpm. Engine speed higher than
1400 rpm is possible only with the throttle pedal.
Reduce engine speed to the minimum before starting
the engine and before stopping it.
NOTE : Leave the setting to the minimum for normal
driving. Use a higher setting only for more power when
getting the vehicle in motion.

1. Heater fan speed control knob
2. Heater temperature control knob
Fan Speed Control Knob
The knob controls the fan speed which is used for reg-
ular heating and defrosting. Turn clockwise to increase
the fan speed (toward the larger dots).
Heater Temperature Control Knob
Turn this knob to select the appropriate temperature in
the cab. The red zone provides warm air, the blue
zone provides cool air.
NOTE : For maximum efficiency, ensure the both cab
air filters are clean. A clogged filter reduces air circula-
tion. Inspect and clean the filters more frequently in
dusty work environment.
NOTE : The air conditioning unit uses the same con-
trols for fan speed and temperature as the standard
heater system.
NOTICE
Do not direct hot air from the defrosters directly
onto a cold windshield. Localized heat on a cold
windshield causes thermal stress which can
crack the glass.
