The hydraulic lift lever (Fig. 12) has three positions:
FLOAT, TRANSPORT and RAISE. To lower the
cutting unit to the ground, move the lift lever forward
into the notch in the seat platform—FLOAT. Use the
FLOAT position for mowing and when the machine is
not in operation. To raise the cutting unit, pull the lift
lever rearward to the RAISE position.
After the cutting unit is raised, let the lift lever move
to the TRANSPORT position. The cutting unit must
be raised when driving from one work area to another.

Power Take-Off Switch
Pull up on the sleeve on the toggle switch handle and
move handle to ON to engage the power take-off
clutch (Fig. 12). Pull up on the sleeve and move the
handle to OFF to disengage the power take-off clutch.
The only time the power take-off switch should be in
the ENGAGE position is when the implement is
down, in operating position and ready to begin
operation.
Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge (Fig. 12) registers the
temperature of the coolant in the cooling system. If
coolant temperature becomes too high, the engine will
shut off automatically.

Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge (Fig. 12) indicates the quantity of fuel
remaining in the fuel tank.
Ignition Key Switch
Three positions: OFF, ON/Preheat and START
(Fig. 12).
Temperature Override Switch
Press and hold the over-ride switch (Fig. 12) to start
the engine after a high-temperature shut down. Use
only for emergency operation.
Throttle

7
The throttle (Fig. 12) is used to operate the engine at
various speeds. Moving the throttle forward increases
engine speed—FAST; rearward decreases engine
speed—SLOW. The throttle controls the speed of the
cutter blades and, with the traction pedal, controls the
traction unit's ground speed.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Fig. 12) registers accumulated hours
of engine operation.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
The light illuminates and the engine shuts down when
coolant reaches an excessively high temperature
(Fig. 12).
Glow Plug Indicator
When lit, indicates that the glow plugs are on
(Fig. 12).
Charge Indicator
Illuminates when the system's charging circuit
malfunctions (Fig. 12).
