2. KEYSWITCH
Gasoline engines:
The key switch has three
positions OFF, RUN, and START. Insert the key and

RUN. Turn it further to START and hold to engage
the starter. Release the key and the switch will return
to RUN from START. Turn the key counterclockwise
to OFF to stop the engine.
Diesel Engines:
The key switch has four positions
PREHEAT, OFF, RUN, and START. Insert the key
and turn it counterclockwise to move the switch from
OFF to PREHEAT until the glow plug indicator lights.
Release the key and the switch will return to OFF.

3. THROTTLE LEVER
Move the throttle lever forward to increase engine
speed until the maximum governed engine rpm
is reached. Move the lever rearward to decrease
engine speed until the engine reaches its idle speed.
4. LIGHT SWITCH
Rock the switch forward to turn the lights on. Rock it
rearward to turn the lights off.
5. WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Water cooled engines only. Displays engine coolant
temperature.
6. VOLTMETER
Displays electrical system voltage.
7. TACHOMETER AND HOUR METER
Displays engine rpm and accumulated engine
operating hours.
8. FUEL GAUGE
Displays fuel level in fuel tank.
9. AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC LEVER
Controls flow of hydraulic oil to hydraulic device
connected to auxiliary hydraulic couplers. This
allows extension or retraction of a hydraulic cylinder,
or rotation of a hydraulic motor. There are four
positions; HOLD, RAISE, LOWER, and FLOAT.
Moving the lever forward from the hold positions
lowers the attachment, moving it farther forward
locks the lever into the detented FLOAT position that
allows a cylinder to float or follow terrain. To raise an
attachment move the lever to the rear to the RAISE
position. If a function performs the opposite direction
of what is intended, reverse the hoses connected to
the auxiliary ports.
10. HYDRAULIC FRONT LIFT LEVER
Controls the vertical position of the front attachment
hitch. There are four lever positions; HOLD, LOWER,
FLOAT, and RAISE. Moving the lever forward from
the hold positions lowers the attachment, moving
it farther forward locks the lever into the detented
FLOAT position. Mower decks should be run in this
position as it allows the deck to follow terrain. For
attachments where down pressure is desired, do not
move the lever into the FLOAT position. To raise an
attachment move the lever to the rear to the RAISE
position.
