9. Hourmeter - Indicates the total operating hours of
the loader. The hourmeter is especially useful for
logging time in the “Maintenance Log” located in
the Maintenance chapter of this manual.
10. Keyswitch - International symbols located around
the perimeter of the keyswitch denote the key
functions and positions. In a clockwise rotation,
these positions are:
Off Position - With the key vertical (OFF) in the
keyswitch, power from the battery is disconnected
to the control and instrument panel electrical
circuits. This is the only position the key can be
inserted or removed from the keyswitch.
On or Run Position - With the key turned one
position clockwise (RUN) from the vertical (OFF)
position, power from the battery is supplied to all
control and instrument panel electrical circuits.
Start Position - With the key turned fully
clockwise (START) and held in position, the
electric starter energizes, starting the engine.
Release the key after the engine starts (it returns to
the RUN position by itself).
NOTE: The key MUST always be returned to the
Off position between attempts to start the engine in
order to activate the glow plug system.
11. Light Switch - Controls all the lights (standard and
optional) on the loader. International symbols
denote the four positions of the light switch. In a
clockwise direction these are: Off, Flashers
(Hazards), Headlight/Taillight with Flashers
(without rear Work Lights), and Headlight/Taillight
(with rear Work Lights). For the lights to function,
the keyswitch MUST be in the “ON” (RUN)
position.
12. Circuit Breakers - Two circuit breakers on the
instrument panel protect the loader electrical
circuits.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT attempt to defeat the
circuit protection by jumping across the circuit
breaker or by using a higher amperage circuit
breaker.
13. Horn (Optional) - A horn kit is available for
installation on the skid loader.
14. Auxiliary Hydraulic Switch (Detent) (Hand &
Foot Electric Auxiliary Models only) -A
three-position detent switch used for continuous
operation.
15. High Flow Auxiliary Hydraulic Indicator (DX
