Features & Controls

 PTO Switch Hour Meter

The hour meter measures the number of hours the key has been in the RUN position.

Note: The hour meter will register the passage of time when the key is in the RUN position, even if the engine is not running. The hour meter has a self contained power source so the total hours are always visible.

 Transmission Oil Fill PTO Switch

The PTO (Power Take-Off) switch engages and disengages attachments that use the PTO. To engage the PTO, pull UP on the switch. Push DOWN to disengage. Note that the operator must be seated firmly in the rider seat for the PTO to function.

 Transmission Release Valves Transmission Oil Fill

Transmission oil is added through the transmission oil expansion chamber. It also serves as extra holding capacity for oil as the transmission heats up and the oil expands. See CHECK TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL for oil level check and fill procedures.

The transmission release valves deactivate the transmissions so that the unit can be pushed by hand. See PUSHING THE UNIT BY HAND for operational information.
