PTO Lever
The PTO lever (Fig. 18) has two positions: ON (engage)
and OFF (disengage). Slowly push PTO lever fully forward
to ON position to start the implement or cutting unit blades.
Slowly, pull lever backward to OFF position to stop
implement operation. The only time PTO lever should be in
the ON position is when implement or cutting unit is down
in operating position.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge (Fig. 18) indicates quantity of fuel
remaining in fuel tank.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Fig. 18) registers accumulated hours of
engine operation.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure warning light (Fig. 18) glows when oil
pressure in engine drops below a safe level. If low oil
pressure ever occurs, stop engine and determine the cause.
Repair the damage before starting the engine again.
Charge Indicator
Illuminates when system charging circuit malfunctions
(Fig. 18).
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
The light illuminates and engine shuts down when coolant
reaches a excessively high temperature (Fig. 18).

Temperature Gauge & Reset Switch
The temperature gauge (Fig. 18) registers the temperature
of the coolant in the cooling system. If temperature of
coolant gets too high the engine will shut off automatically.
When this happens, rotate ignition key to OFF. Automatic
shut–off of the engine usually results from debris on front
of screen or radiator, which reduces air flow. After cleaning
outside of screen and radiator or repairing some other
damage, press the reset button (Fig. 18) and start the
engine.
Important If the switch must be overridden because of
an emergency, the engine can be started and will continue
to run while reset switch is held in.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch (Fig. 18), which is used to start and
stop the engine, has three position: OFF, RUN, and START.
Rotate key clockwise to the START position to engage
starter motor. When engine starts, release key and it will
move automatically to the ON position. To shut engine off,
rotate key counterclockwise to the OFF position.
Throttle Control
The throttle (Fig. 18) is used to operate engine at various
speeds. Moving throttle forward increases engine
speed—FAST; backward decreases engine speed—SLOW.
