Starter Switch
The starter switch, used to start, stop and preheat the
engine, has three positions: OFF, ON/PREHEAT and
START. Rotate key to ON/PREHEAT position until glow
plug indicator light goes out (approximately 7 seconds),
then rotate key to START position to engage starter motor.
Release key when engine starts. The key will move
automatically to the ON/RUN position. To shut engine off,
rotate key to OFF position. Remove key from switch to
prevent accidental starting.
Throttle
Moving throttle forward increases engine speed, rearward
decreases engine speed.
Cutting Unit Shift Lever
To lower cutting units to the ground, move lift lever
forward. Cutting units will not drop unless engine is
running and will not operate in raised position. To raise
cutting units, pull lift lever rearward to the RAISE position.
Model 03206 only– Move lever to the right or left to move
cutting units in same direction. This should only be done
when cutting units are raised or if they're on the ground
and the machine is moving.
Danger
The machine is most stable on a side hill when the
cutting units are shifted uphill. Shifting cutting
units downhill decreases machine stability. This
could cause a rollover, which may result in
personal injury or death.
Note: Lever does not have to be held in forward position
while cutting units are lowered.
