CONTROLS
Glow Plug Indicator
(Fig.16) - Automatically
actuates proper glow period when ignition key is
turned to ON position. Illuminates when glow plugs are
actuated. When glow plugs are heated sufficiently,
light goes off indicating engine is ready to start.
Deck Drive/PTO Switch
(Fig. 16) - Pull sleeve upward
on switch lever and push lever to ENGAGE position
and release to actuate switch; lever will move to neutral
position when released. Move lever to DISENGAGE
position to stop. Switch automatically resets to
DISENGAGE when all three cutting units are raised or
engine is shut off.
Engine Over-ride Switch
(Fig. 16 & 17) - If engine
has overheated and been shut-down by the safety
switch, depressing button will allow engine operation.
Use button only for emergencies and only at short
intervals.

Electrical System - Fuse block
(Fig. 18) - The
electrical system is protected by one 5 Amp and two 15
Amp fuses located under the control panel to the
operator's right. A fusible link, located by starter, is
incorporated for the protection of the entire wiring
circuit. The link can be replaced if total loss of electrical
function results. However, the reason for the
malfunction should first be found and corrected.

Traction Pedal
(Fig. 19) - Controls forward and
reverse operation. Depress top of pedal to move
forward and bottom to move in reverse. Ground speed
is dependent upon high range/low range ground
speed mode(slower in low than high range) and
proportionate to how far pedal is depressed.
Steering/Parking Brake Pedals
(Fig. 19) - The left
and right turn pedals are connected to the front wheel
brakes. Since both brakes work independently, they
can be used to turn machine more sharply or to
increase traction if one wheel tends to slip while
operating on a hillside. However, wet grass or soft turf
can be damaged when brakes are used for turning. A
brake latch lever locks the two pedals together for
parking. Whenever the engine is shut off, set parking
brake to prevent accidental machine movement. Latch
pedals together, depress them and pull the parking
brake knob at the top of the steering tower up (Fig. 15)
Depress brake pedals to release the parking brake.

Brake Pedal
(Fig. 19) - Single pedal operated by the
right foot actuates fully enclosed, multiple disc front
brakes.
Note:
There is dynamic braking through the
closed-loop hydrostatic traction drive system.
Storage
(Fig. 20) - A large removable tool storage tray
is located under a hinged floor plate. A small storage
and beverage holder is to the operator's right.
