SAFETY

Safety needs to always be the concern of an operator of a moving vehicle or any machine with moving parts.

1. Keep all shields and guards in place.

2. Keep the parking brake engaged any time the operator is away from the vehicle or whenever service is

performed.

3. Always wear the necessary protective clothing and equipment.

4. Turn engine off when refueling or performing maintenance not specifically requiring engine power.

STARTING THE ENGINE

2. Make sure the spray pump is disengaged.

3. Depress the clutch pedal to activate the interlock switch.

4. Place shift lever in neutral.

5. The ignition switch is located to the right of the steering column. In-

sert the key (A) and turn clockwise until the engine starts (C). Re-

lease the key and it will return to the run position (B). Use the choke

and hand throttle as necessary.

6. Allow engine to idle and warm up before selecting direction of travel.

7. Make sure the park brake is disengaged.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

If the engine has been running under high power, let it run at slow idle speed a few minutes to

cool the engine down, before turning the ignition switch to the OFF position.

1. Disengage spray pump.

2. Move the throttle lever to “slow” and turn ignition key to the “off” position.

3. Remove the ignition key and engage the park brake.

Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running. Always bring the vehicle to a

complete stop, engage park brake, turn key off and remove key.

It is recommended that you run the machine at idle speed for 5-10 minutes prior to operating. This allows the oil to warm upwhich allows easier steering.
