CONTROLS AND HOW TO USE THEM

Picture yourself seated on your Landlord or Sovereign tractor. ‘Before starting the engine, lets learn how to use each of the safe, easy to reach controls. (The numbers on figures 1 thru 7 correspond to the paragraph numbers be- low.

1.Ignition Switch: When turned clockwise to the first po- sition, the ignition is turned “ON”. Turn past the “ON” position to actua@ the starter. (If the starter does not ac- tuate, be sure the transmission shift lever on variable speed ~models or the hydrostatic control lever on hydrostatic models is in the neutral position).

It is normal for the generator light to come on when the ignition switch is in the ON po- sition and the engine is stopped or running at low speed. The light should go out when the engine is running at higher speeds. If it does not, the generator a voltage regu- lator, is not functioning properly. Check the generator belt adjustment (see adj. page 11). See your Simplicity dealer if the light will not go out after the belt is adjusted.
