Ignition Switch
The ignition switch has three positions: Off,
On/Preheat, and Start.
Throttle Lever
The throttle lever controls the speed of the engine.
Moving the throttle lever forward toward the Fast
position increases the engine speed. Moving it rearward
toward the Slow position decreases the engine speed.
The throttle controls the speed of the blades and, in
conjunction with motion control levers, controls ground
speed of the machine. Always run the machine with the
throttle in the Fast position when cutting grass.
Power Take Off (PTO) Switch
The power take off (PTO) switch starts and stops the
mower blades.
Hour Meter
The hour meter records the number of hours the engine
has operated. It operates when the key switch is in the
Run position. Use these times for scheduling regular
maintenance.
Glow Plug Light (Orange Light)
The glow plug indicator light turns on when the ignition
switch is turned to the On position. It remains lit for 6
seconds. When the light turns off, the engine is ready
to be started.
