latch retracts without contacting the locking mechanism.

To tilt the steering wheel towards you, press the foot pedal
down, and pull the steering tower toward you to the most
comfortable position and then release the pedal (Figure 6). To
move the steering wheel away from you, press the foot pedal
and release it when the steering wheel reaches the desired
operating position.

Throttle Lever
The throttle lever (Figure 7) 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 PTO and, in conjunction with the
traction pedal, controls ground speed of the machine. Always
run the machine with the throttle in the Fast position when
operating attachments.
Power Take Off (PTO) Switch
The power take off (PTO) switch starts and stops the
attachment (Figure 7).
Steering Selector Switch (4 wheel drive
models only)
Press the steering selector switch to the rear to engage 4 wheel
steering and forward to return to 2 wheel steering (Figure 7).
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Figure 7) 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.
Differential Lock Switch (optional-2
wheel drive models only)
Press the front of the switch and hold it down to engage the
differential lock (Figure 7).
Glow Plug Light (Orange Light)
The glow plug indicator light (Figure 7) 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
Light
This light glows and the cutting blades stop if the engine
coolant temperature is high (Figure 7). If the machine is not
stopped and the coolant temperature rises another -7° C (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, allow the traction pedal to move to the
neutral 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.
