The hour meter is activated when the key switch is turned to either the “NORMAL MOWING” or the

"REVERSE CAUTION MODE" switch positions. A record of the actual hours of operation should be kept to assure maintenance proce- dures are completed according to the schedule in this manual.

When the key switch is turned to the on position, the battery indicator light briefly illuminates and the battery voltage is briefly displayed. The display then changes to the accumulated hours.

C. Key Switch Module

The key switch module consist of a four position key switch, the “Reverse Push Button”, and a red indicator light. Refer to Figure 5.

The four key positions of key switch module (Refer to Figure 5) and their functions are as follows:

Stop — Stops the tractor engine and shuts down the tractor’s electrical circuits.

Reverse Caution Mode — This position allows the machine to be operated in reverse with the blades (PTO) engaged.

Normal Mowing — The normal operating position. All safety inter- lock circuits are activated and the blades (PTO) will disengage when

the tractor is driven in the reverse direction.

Start — Energizes the starter motor to crank and start the tractor engine. Release the key as soon as the engine starts and the key will return to “NORMAL MOWING” position.

To prevent accidental start- ing and/or battery dis- charge, remove the key from the key switch when the tractor is not in use.

Reverse Push Button — The orange/ triangular button at the top/right corner of the key switch module activates the system which allows the tractor’s blades (PTO) to remain engaged when the tractor is driven in the reverse direction. The key must be turned to the “REVERSE CAUTION MODE” and the operator must be in the tractor seat prior to depressing the button to activate the system.

The Red Indicator Light at the top/left corner of the key switch module comes “ON” to alert the operator that the key has been turned to the “Reverse Caution Mode” position, the “Reverse Push Button” has been depressed, and that the blades will remain engaged when the machine is driven in reverse.
