Traction Pedal (Fig. 8)—Controls forward and reverse
operation. Depress the top of the pedal to move forward and
the bottom to move backward. Ground speed depends on
how far the pedal is depressed. For no-load, maximum
ground speed, fully depress the pedal while the throttle is in
FAST.
To stop, reduce your foot pressure on the traction pedal and
allow it to return to the center position.
Brake Pedals (Fig. 8)—Two foot pedals operate individual
wheel brakes for turning assistance, parking and to aid in
obtaining better sidehill traction. A locking strap connects
the pedals for parking brake operation.
Parking Brake Latch (Fig. 8)—A knob on the left side of
the console actuates the parking brake lock. To engage the
parking brake, connect the pedals with the locking strap,
push down on both pedals and pull the parking brake latch
out. To release the parking brake, depress both pedals until
the parking brake latch retracts.
Tilt Steering Control (Fig. 8)—A lever on the rear of the
steering tower. Push the lever downward to adjust the steer-
ing wheel to the desired fore or aft operating position and
release the lever to lock the adjustment.
Lift Lever (Fig. 9)—The lever raises and lowers the cutting
unit.
PTO Switch (Fig. 9)—The PTO switch has three positions:
ON (engage), Neutral and OFF (disengage). Slowly lift and
push the PTO switch forward to ON position to start the
implement or cutting unit blades. Slowly, pull the switch
backward to OFF position to stop implement operation. The
only time PTO switch should be in the ON position is when
the implement or cutting unit is down in operating position.
Ignition Switch (Fig. 9)—Three positions: OFF, ON/Preheat
and START.
Charge Indicator (Fig. 9)—Illuminates when system charg-
ing circuit malfunctions.
Low Water Level Light (Fig. 9)—Indicates coolant water
level is low.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light (Fig. 9)—
The light illuminates and the engine shuts down when the
coolant reaches a dangerously high temperature.
