CAUTION
Do not park the machine on a slope.
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, in
conjunction with motion control levers, controls ground
speed of the machine. Always run the machine with the
throttle in the Fast position when using attachments.
Power Take Off (PTO) Switch
The power take off (PTO) switch starts and stops powered
attachments.
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.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning

This light glows and the powered attachments will stop if
the engine coolant temperature is high. But the engine will

continue to run. If the machine is not stopped and the
coolant temperature rises another 20° F, the engine will stop.
Important: If the attachment shuts down and the
temperature warning light is on, push PTO knob down,
drive to a safe flat area, move the throttle lever to the
Slow position, move the motion control levers into the
neutral locked position, and engage the parking brake.
Allow the engine to idle for several minutes while it cools
to a safe level. Stop the engine and check the cooling
system; refer to Checking the Cooling System in Cooling
System Maintenance.
Charge Indicator
Illuminates when the system charging circuit malfunctions.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure warning light glows when the oil pressure in
the engine drops below a safe level. If low oil pressure ever
occurs, stop the engine and determine the cause. Repair the
damage before starting the engine again.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge (Figure 39) indicates the quantity of fuel
remaining in the fuel tanks.
