OPERATION C-7
1. Engine Throttle:
Pushing forward on this lever increases engine rpm, pulling backward decreases engine rpm.
Engine must be run at maximum rpm when operating. Do not drive machine at idle, reduced charge
pressure will ruin brakes. Maximum engine rpm is set at factory and should not be modified.
2. Switch Panel:
The switch panel contains a number of switches and fuses, which control and operate standard
controls and individual options. Be sure to understand the function of each switch when operating
them. The orange Brake Switch
enables the parking brake, use parking brake whenever machine is
not moving. Parking brake automatically engages when the engine is shut off. Brake switch must
be on before engine will start. The yellow Clutch Switch
located here enables the electric clutch,
engage the clutch only at idle RPM to avoid damaging clutch. Clutch switch must be off before
engine will start. Optional auger switches with yellow boots must also be in the off position before
the engine will start. (SEE ENGINE STARTING PROCEDURE)
