Following are the conditions when indicator lights will be
on. At other times the lights should be off.
Operating in Reverse
The Operating–in–Reverse light will illuminate whenever
the KeyChoice switch is used to deactivate the
operating-in-reverse interlock. It is a reminder that the
interlock system is deactivated. The light goes out
whenever the power take off (PTO) is disengaged or the
engine is shut off.

PTO (Power Take Off)
The PTO (power take off) light will be on when the
ignition key is in the run or lights positions and the PTO
(power take off) is engaged on. When this light is on it is
a reminder; the starter will not crank and turn off the PTO
before getting off.
Hourmeter
The hourmeter records the number of hours the engine has
operated (Fig. 10). It is turned on when the ignition switch
is in the run or lights positions. Use the times for
scheduling regular maintenance.
Battery
The battery light will be on when the ignition key is in the
run or lights positions if the battery voltage is below
11.2 volts. When this light comes on it is important to
have your battery and electrical system checked and the
problem corrected.
Fuel Level
The fuel level light will be on when the ignition key is in
the run or lights positions and the fuel level is low,
approximately one pint remaining.
Oil
The oil light will be on when the ignition key is in the run
or lights positions and the engine is not running, after the
engine is started the light should go out. When the engine
is running if the oil pressure drops below a safe operating
level the light comes on. When the light comes on while
the engine is running, Stop engine immediately and
correct the cause of low oil pressure.

Driving Forward or Backward

The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place the
throttle control in the fast position for best performance.
To go forward or backward, release the parking brake:
refer to Releasing the Parking Brake, page 16. Place your
foot on the traction control pedal and slowly press on the
top of the traction control pedal to move forward or on the
bottom of the traction control pedal to move backward
(Fig. 12). The farther you move the traction control pedal
in either direction, the faster the machine will move in
that direction.
Note: For reverse motion, with the PTO engaged, the
operating-in-reverse interlock must be deactivated by the
KeyChoice switch located on the seat bracket on the right
hand side just below the seat.
