Operation
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).
Note: Brake must be engaged, motion control levers out (neutral lock position) and PTO switch “OFF” to start engine. (It is not necessary for the operator to be in the seat to start the engine.)
Drive wheel release valves are used to release the hydrostatic drive system to allow the machine to be pushed without the engine running. Unhook seat latch and tilt seat up to gain access to pumps.
With a 5/8 inch wrench, turn both valves one turn counterclockwise to release drive system. Turn clockwise to reset system. Do Not overtighten. Do
Not tow machine.
Hour Meter
Located on the right fuel tank.
The hour meter is connected to a pressure switch installed in the engine block and it records the number of hours that the engine has run. If the ignition switch is left on without engine running, hour meter will not run.
Note: This switch is not a low oil sensor and will not alert the operator if the engine oil is low.
Fuel Shut-Off Valve
Located directly below the right side of console, next to the cubby.

Tracking Adjustment Knob
Located under the seat on the LH pump control link.
Rotating this knob allows fine tuning adjustments so that the machine tracks straight with the drive levers in the full forward position.
Stop machine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Engage park brake. Unhook seat latch and tilt seat forward to gain access to the tracking knob. Rotate the knob clockwise (as viewed from the rear of the machine) to cause the machine to track more to the right and counterclockwise to cause the machine to track more to the left. Adjust in
Important: Do Not rotate the knob too far, as this may cause the machine to creep in neutral. Refer to the Motion Control Linkage Adjustment section in Maintenance.

Switch must be pulled out to the “ROTATE” position to engage the blades. Switch is pushed in to the “STOP” position to stop the blades.
Fuel 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.
Coolant 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. Refer to the Warning Buzzer in the Troubleshooting section.
