Operation

Park Brake Lever

Located on left side of unit, just to the front of the LH motion control lever (see Figure 5).

The brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive wheels.

Note: The LCD indicator appears in the message display on the front console when the park brake is engaged (see Figure 5 and Figure 7).

To engage the brake, pull the lever rearward and to the right to position into the engaged position.

To release, pull the brake lever back and over to the left, position into the slot and push the lever forward.

When parking on a steep slope, the wheels must be chocked or blocked in addition to the brake being engaged. The unit must be tied down and brake engaged when transporting.

Park brake must be disengaged before moving motion control out of neutral or engine will kill.

Ignition Switch

Located on the LH side of the front control console (see Figure 5).

The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The switch has three positions “OFF”, “ON” and “START”. Insert key into switch and rotate clockwise to the “ON” position. Rotate clockwise to the next position to engage the starter (key must be held against spring pressure in this position). Allow the key to return to the “ON” position immediately after the engine starts.

Note: To start the engine, place the LH motion control lever in neutral, the RH motion control in PTO disengage position, and the PTO switch

disengaged. (It is not necessary for the operator to be on the platform.)

Hour Meter

Located on the LH side of the front control console in the message display (see Figure 5 and Figure 7).

The hour meter records the number of hours that the engine has run.

3.Hour/Voltage display

The hour meter is recording when the decimal point is flashing in Hour/Voltage display.

Hours are displayed when the key is off or when the machine is running.

Note: If the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position for a few seconds before cranking the engine, the battery voltage will display in the area where the hours are normally displayed.

Note: The LCD indicators appear when each control meets the “safe to start” mode. Because the PTO must be disengaged to start the engine, the LCD indicator will not illuminate at this time.

Fuel Shut-Off Valve

Located on the RH side of the control tower behind the knee cushion for Kawasaki units. Located on the LH side of the machine, towards the rear of the engine, on Kohler units.

The fuel shut-off valve is used to shut off the fuel when the machine will not be used for a few days, during transport to and from the jobsite, and when parked inside a building.

Align valve handle with the fuel line to open. Rotate 90° to close.
