The throttle lever controls the engine speed. Always operate the mower at full
throttle during normal operation.
6.2.16 COMBINATION GAUGE____________________________________________________
The combination gauge shows the hours of operation, the level
of fuel and has six indicator lights to indicate the mower
conditions.
The hour meter in the center of the gauge shows the hours of
operation of the mower. When the ignition switch is in the RUN
position, the hour meter is active.
The fuel gauge is above the hour meter in the center of the
gauge. The fuel gauge shows the level of fuel in the tank. Do not
allow the tank to become empty while you operate the mower.
The combination gauge indicator lights supply the following information:
The Red coolant-temperature light indicates that coolant temperature is more than 230° F (110° C). Stop unit
immediately. Remove the tree leaves, grass clippings and other objects that can decrease air flow through the
rear screen and the radiator. If the engine continues to run hot, return mower to the service area.
The red hydraulic filter light indicates that the hydraulic filter must be replaced. Return the mower to the service
area and replace the filter.
WARNING
The engine coolant is under pressure. To prevent injury, do not remove the radiator cap on a hot radiator.
