Bail Throttle
Do not try to start machine with the bail throttle in the
operating position.
After the engine has started, pull the bail throttle to the
operating position. The clutch will engage automatically
and the engine will throttle to the correct speed.
CAUTION! DO NOT pull the bail throttle with the brushes
not on the floor.
Release the bail and the clutch will automatically
disengage and the engine speed will return to idle.
SafeSense Emissions Monitoring System
SafeSense is an emissions monitoring device that
monitors the exhaust emissions and will shut the engine
down if the emissions levels are too low or too high.
Note: After engine starts, the YELLOW alert light will flash
for a 3 minute warm-up cycle of the SafeSense system.
(The machine may be operated during this warm-up
period.) After the warm-up cycle, the alert light will go out.
None of the SafeSense lights will be illuminated as long as
the machine is running safely.
OIL: Light comes on when there is low oil pressure. If the
engine losses oil pressure, the engine shuts down
until the condition is corrected. The light comes on
each time the engine is stopped.
TILT/IDLE: Light comes on when the machine is tilted to
the pad change position and the engine shuts down.
If the machine is allowed to idle for more than 4
minutes, the light flashes for 1 minute then the
engine shuts down.
RED SafeSense SERVICE: If carbon monoxide levels
exceed a pre-set level, the light will flash. The
machine will shut down after the light flashes
continuously for one minute. If the machine does not
operate normally after the engine air filter is checked
and cleaned, it must be serviced by a qualified
technician.
OXYGEN SENSOR: If light comes on during normal
operation, check the oxygen sensor wire for a snug
fit into the harness and for a snug fit of the harness
into the SafeSense board. If the light still remains
on, the machine must be serviced by a qualified
technician.
TURN GAS OFF: Light comes on to remind the operator
to turn off the gas after the engine shuts down.
BATTERY: Light comes on when the battery voltage is
low indicating the need to service charging system.
