Impisment Pomr Control Switch (Figure 1).

Pull the switch out (ON) to engage the electro­
magnetic clutch to drive the mower and front mount­

ed attachments. (12,14 and 16 H.P.)

NOTE: On 18 H.P. Tractor there are two switches.

The extra switch controis the rear P.T.O. and

attachments.

NOTE: These switches must be pushed in (OFF)

to disengage the drive before the engine vnii start or

to aiiow engine to keep running if the operator gets

off the seat

Implement Power Indicator Light (Figure 1). This

light glows red when either of the implement power

control switches (1) is puiled out to indicate that
the attachment is engaged.

Throttle Lever (Figure 1). Raise the lever to in­

crease engine speed. Lower the lever to decrease
engine speed.

Ignition Switch (Figure 1). Turn the key fully

clockwise to start the engine and release when the
engine starts. Turn the key counterclockwise to stop
the engine.

Choke Control (Figure 1). Pull choke control out

when attempting to start a cold engine or when
starting during cold weather. When engine starts,
gradually push choke in. Normally, it is not necessary
to use the choke when starting a warm engine.

Light Switch (Figure 1). Pull the switch out to

turn on the front and rear lights. The ignition key

must be turned on before the lights work.

Seat Interlock Switch (Figure 1). This switch, lo­

cated in the seat, is actuated by the operators weight.

If the operator leaves the seat for any reason while

the PTO is "ON" or the shift lever is not in "PARK
START" the PTO clutch and engine ignition are both
shut off. When the PTO is "OFF" and the shift
lever is in "PARK/START" leaving the seat will not
cause the engine to stop.

Hydraulic Lift (Figure 1) This iever controls the

hydraulic system used to raise and lower attach­
ments. The lever has four positions — UP, HOLD,

DOWN and FLOAT. The normal out-of-use po­
sition is the "HOLD" position. In this position the

attachment wiii not raise or lower. When it is desired
to raise the implement, move the lever to the "UP"
position; to lower the attachment move the lever to
the "DOWN" position. Place the lever in the
"FLOAT" position to aiiow the attachments to
follow the ground contours.

Ammeter (Figure 1). The ammeter indicates the

rate of battery charge or discharge. The indicator
should register on the (+) side of the dial when the
engine is running at any speed above a slow idle.

When the engine is idling or with a fully charged

battery, the ammeter may not show charge. Should

the ammeter register on the (—) side of the dial for

an extended period of time with the engine running,

it indicates the alternator is not charging the battery.

Check the battery connections or contact your dealer.
