Tilt Steering Lever
Pull the tilt steering lever (Figure 27) back to adjust the
steering wheel to the desired position, then push the
lever forward to tighten.
Indicator Slot
The slot in the operator platform (Figure 27) indicates
when the cutting units are in the center position.
Angle Indicator
The angle indicator (Figure 27) indicates the side hill
angle of the machine in degrees.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch (Figure 29), which is used to start,
stop, and preheat the engine, has three positions:
Off, On/Preheat, and Start. Rotate the key to the
On/Preheat position until the glow plug indicator light
goes out (approximately 7 seconds); then rotate the
key to the Start position to engage the starter motor.
Release the key when the engine starts. The key will
move automatically to the On/Run position. To shut the
engine off, rotate the key to the Off position and remove
the key from the switch to prevent accidental starting.

Throttle
Move the throttle (Figure 29) forward to increase the
engine speed and rearward to decrease the engine speed.

Cutting Unit Drive Switch
The cutting unit drive switch (Figure 29) has two
positions: Engage and Disengage. The rocker switch
operates a solenoid valve on the valve bank to drive the
cutting units.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Figure 29) indicates the total hours of
machine operation. The hour meter starts to function
whenever the key switch is On.
Cutting Unit Shift Lever
To lower the cutting units to the ground, move the
cutting unit shift lever (Figure 29) forward. The cutting
units will not drop unless the engine is running, and
they will not operate in the raised position. To raise the
cutting units, pull the shift lever rearward to the Raise
position.
Move the lever to the right or left to move the cutting
units in the same direction. This should only be done
when the cutting units are raised or if they are on the
ground and the machine is moving (Model 03206 only).
Note: The lever does not have to be held in the forward
position while the cutting units are lowered.
Shifting the cutting units downhill decreases
machine stability. This could cause a rollover,
which may result in personal injury or death.
Shift the cutting units uphill while on a side hill.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
The temperature warning light (Figure 29) glows if the
engine coolant temperature is high. If the traction unit is
not stopped and the coolant temperature rises another
10°F, the engine will kill.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure warning light (Figure 29) glows if the
engine oil pressure drops below a safe level.
Alternator Light
The alternator light (Figure 29) should be off when the
engine is running. If it is on, the charging system should
be checked and repaired as necessary.
