5.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 (e.g. the indicator turns on when the operator is in the seat.)

Fuel Shut-Off Valve

Located behind and below the seat.

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.

Fuel Gauge

Located on the right console in the message display (see Figure 6 and Figure 9).

The fuel level is shown on a bar display. The indicator light appears when the fuel level is low (approximately one gallon remaining in the tank).

Drive Wheel Release Valves

WARNING

Hands may become entangled in the rotating drive components below the engine deck, which could result in serious injury or death.

Stop engine, remove key, allow all the moving parts to stop before accessing the drive wheel release valves.

WARNING

The engine and hydraulic drive units can become very hot. Touching a hot engine or hydraulic drive units can cause severe burns.

Allow the engine and hydraulic drive units to cool completely before accessing the drive wheel release valves.

Located on the back of the unitized hydraulic drive units, below the engine deck.

During normal operating conditions, the drive wheel release valves are positioned horizontally. If the machine has to be pushed by hand, the valves must be in the “released” position (see Figure 10).
