4.1.10Fuel Gauge: Located on the left fuel tank.
The fuel gauge monitors the amount of fuel in the left tank only. Use the fuel from the right fuel tank first. When the right fuel tank is empty switch to the left fuel tank. Fuel gauge will monitor the remaining fuel.
4.1.11Drive Wheel Release Valves: Located on the top right front corner of hydrostatic pumps.
Drive wheel release valves are used to release the hydrostatic drive system to allow the machine to be pushed without the engine running. Tilt seat up to gain access to pumps.
With a 5/8 wrench, turn both valves one turn
4.1.12Coolant Temperature Gauge: Located at the front of the left fuel tank.
The coolant temperature gauge monitors the temperature of the engine coolant. An engine overheating condition is indicated by the red area on the gauge and an alarm will sound (See Section 4.1.17).
4.1.13Voltmeter: Located next to the Coolant Temperature Gauge at the front of the left fuel tank.
The voltmeter measures the voltage output of the alternator. Both high and low voltages will potentially damage the battery.
4.1.15Water in Fuel Light: Located on the right fuel tank.
An illuminated water in fuel light signals water in the diesel fuel. Water should be drained from the fuel filter if the light is on.
IMPORTANT: Water or other contaminants in fuel can severely damage fuel pump and/or other engine components.
4.1.16Glow Plug Light: Located on the right fuel tank. The glow plug light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. The glow plug light indicates the glow plugs are preheating the combustion chamber. Wait for the glow plug light to go out before starting the engine.
4.1.17Warning Buzzer: Located behind the seat on the left hand side of the engine air deflector. The buzzer is a warning signal for the following circumstances:
a)When the engine is not running and the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the buzzer emits intermittent beeps. The intermittent beeps remind the user that the switch is ON and the hourmeter is running. A switch left ON could also drain the battery.
b)When the engine is running and the buzzer emits a continuous beep, the buzzer is warning the user that the engine is overheating. Perform the following steps.
1.Disengage the mower blades, and idle down the engine.
2.Look at the temperature gauge to determine if temperature continues to increase. If it does, turn the unit off and allow the engine and engine components to cool.
3.Check the coolant level. If necessary fill with coolant as described in Section 5.1.2.
4.Remove any debris on or around the radiator that may restrict airflow.
5.Check to see if the water pump/alternator belt is intact. If belt is missing, do not run unit, as unit can overheat and damage the engine. See Engine Service Dealer.
