Stop machine and wait for all moving parts to stop. Engage park brake. Tilt seat
forward to gain access to the tracking knob. Rotate the knob clockwise (as
viewed from the rear of the machine) to cause the machine to track more to the
right and counterclockwise to cause the machine to track more to the left. Adjust
in quarter-turn increments until the machine tracks straight. Check that the
machine does not creep when in neutral with the park brakes disengaged.
IMPORTANT: Do not rotate the knob too far, as this may cause the unit to
creep in neutral. Refer to section 5.2.13 for control linkage adjustment.
4.1.4 PTO Engagement Switch: Located on right fuel tank.
Switch must be pulled out to the “ROTATE” position to engage the blades.
Switch is pushed in to the “STOP” position to stop the blades.
4.1.5 Throttle Control: Located on right fuel tank.
Throttle is used to control engine speed. Moving throttle lever forward will increase
engine speed and moving throttle lever to the rear will decrease engine speed.
4.1.6 Brake Lever: Located on left side of unit, just to the front of the console.
The brake lever engages a parking brake on the drive wheels.
Pull the lever up and rearward to engage the brake.
Push the lever forward and down to disengage the brake.
The unit must be tied down and brake engaged when transporting.
4.1.7 Ignition Switch: Located on the right fuel tank.
The ignition switch is used to start and stop the engine. The switch has three
positions “OFF”, “ON” and “START”. Insert the key into switch and rotate
clockwise to the “ON” position. Rotate clockwise to the next position to engage
the starter (key must be held against spring pressure in this position).
NOTE: A glow plug light, located to the right of the ignition switch, will illuminate
when the switch is turned to the “ON” position. The glow plug light indicates the
glow plugs are preheating the combustion chamber. Wait until the light goes out
before rotating the key to the “START” position.
Brake must be engaged, motion control levers out (neutral lock position)
and PTO switch “OFF” to start engine. (It is not necessary for the operator to
be in the seat to start the engine.)
4.1.8 Hour Meter: Located on the right fuel tank.
The hour meter records the number of hours that the engine has run. If the ignition
switch is left “ON” without engine running, the hour meter will continue to run.
4.1.9 Fuel Shut-Off Valve: Located directly below right of console. 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 job site, and when parked inside a building. The
valve has three positions. Each position is made in 1/4 turn increments.
Reference the table below for the correct locations.
FUEL FLOW VALVE POSITION
“OFF” RIGHT
RIGHT TANK “ON” DOWN
LEFT TANK “ON” LEFT
Note: The operator must prime the fuel system when the fuel tanks have gone
empty. The primer pump is the gold button located under the seat next to the
console in the front left-hand corner. To prime the system, push down on the
primer pump until the tension becomes firm (approximately 10-15 pushes).
