knob controls the starting and stopping of the
engine. Pushing the knob forward against the
spring tension retards the engine's timing, which
aids in starting, and allows fuel flow to the injectors.

the
knob to the rear, and
hold until the engine stops. If the knob is released
before the engine stops completely, fuel flow will
resume, and the engine may continue running.

at
the
same time as the hydraulic system will not
function properly if both levers are moved at the
same time.

Differential
Lock
Pedal - The differential lock
pedal is used to lock the differential so both rear
wheels will travel at the same speed, increasing
traction in muddy
or
slippery conditions.

depress the pedal. Hold the pedal down for as long
as you need the lock engaged.
To
disengage the
lock, remove your foot from the pedal and briefly
press one of the brake pedals.

A TURN WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCKED.
NEVER USE THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK WHEN
TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY OR ROAD.
IMPORTANT:
Never engage the differential lock with the rear
wheels spinning excessively. To do so may
cause damage to the differential. Use the lock
only when traveling
in
a straight path.
