PTO (power take off)
Following are the conditions when indicator lights
will be “ON”. At other times the lights should be off.
Operating–in–Reverse
The Operating–in–Reverse light will illuminate
whenever the “key choice” switch is used to
deactivate the operating–in–reverse interlock. It is a
reminder that the interlock system is deactivated.
The light goes out whenever the power take off (PTO)
is disengaged or the engine is shut off.
PTO (Power Take Off)
The PTO (power take off) light will be “ON” when
the key is “RUN” or “LIGHTS” positions and the
PTO (power take off) is engaged “ON”. When this
light is “ON” it is a reminder; the starter will not
crank and turn off PTO before getting off.
Hourmeter
The hourmeter (optional on some models) records the
number of hours the engine has operated (Fig. 10). It
is turned on when the ignition switch is in the “RUN”
or “LIGHTS” positions. Use the times for scheduling
regular maintenance.
Driving Forward or Backward
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place the
throttle control in the “FAST” position for best
performance.
Note:
For reverse motion, with the PTO
engaged, the operating–in–reverse
interlock must be deactivated by the
“key choice” switch located on the seat
bracket on the right hand side just
below the seat.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
•
If you release the clutch pedal too quickly
when the ground speed selector is in gear,
you could suddenly put the machine in
motion.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
•
Sudden engagement of the machine’s drive
system could cause you to lose control.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
•
Always release the clutch pedal slowly
when starting the machine in motion
(forward or reverse).
To go forward or backward, depress the clutch and
brake pedals. Move the ground speed selector to the
desired forward speed or reverse. Release the brake
pedal. As you slowly release the clutch pedal, the
machine will begin to move. Steer the machine with
the steering wheel.
