Cutting Unit Drive Switch
The cutting unit drive switch (Figure 18) 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 18) 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 18) forward. The cutting
units will not drop unless the engine is running. To raise
the cutting units, pull the shift lever rearward to the
Raise position.
On Models 30839 & 30826, 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.
Note: The lever does not have to be held in the forward
position while the cutting units are lowered.
DANGER
On Models 30839 & 30826, 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 18) 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 18) glows if the
engine oil pressure drops below a safe level.
Alternator Light
The alternator light (Figure 18) should be off when the
engine is running. If it is on, the charging system should
be checked and repaired as necessary.
Glow Plug Indicator
The glow plug indicator light (Figure 18) will glow when
the glow plugs are operating.
Parking Brake
Whenever the engine is shut off, engage the parking
brake (Figure 18) to prevent accidental movement of the
machine. To engage the parking brake, pull up on the
lever. The engine will stop if you press the traction pedal
with the parking brake engaged.
Lift Lever Lock
Move the lift lever lock (Figure 18) rearward to prevent
the cutting units from dropping.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge (Figure 19) registers the amount of fuel
in the tank.
