Key Switch
The key switch (

On/Preheat, and Start.
PTO Switch
The PTO switch (

unit blades. Push in the button to disengage the cutting unit
blades.
Hi-Lo Speed Control
The switch (

transport of the machine. To switch between the Hi and Lo
speed ranges, the decks must be raised, the PTO must be
disengaged, the traction pedal must be in the neutral position
and the machine must be moving at a slow speed.
Note:
The cutting decks will not operate and/or cannot be
lowered from the transport position when the switch is in
the high range.
