Hydraulic-Lift Lock
The hydraulic-lift lock secures the lift lever , so that the
hydraulic cylinders do not operate when the machine
is not equipped with a bed ( Figure 9 ). It also locks the
lift lever in the O N position when using the hydraulics
for attachments.
High-Low Range Shifter
The high-low range shifter adds 3 additional speeds
for precise speed control ( Figure 9 ):
• Y ou must stop the machine completely before
shifting between the H IGH and L OW range.
• Shift on level ground only .
• Press the clutch pedal fully .
• Move the lever fully forward for H IGH and fully
rearward for L OW .
H IGH range —For higher speed driving on level, dry
surfaces with light loads.
L OW range —For low-speed driving. Use this
range when greater than normal power or control
is necessary . For example, steep grades, dif cult
terrain, heavy loads, slow speed but high-engine
speed (spraying).
Important: There is a location between H IGH and
L OW in which the transaxle is in neither range.
Do not use this position as a N EUTRAL position,
because the machine could move unexpectedly if
the High-Low shifter is bumped and the gear-shift
lever is in gear .
4-Wheel Drive Button
4-Wheel Drive Models Only
T o engage the 4-wheel drive manually , press and
hold the 4WD button ( Figure 9 ) on the center console
while the vehicle is in motion and the 4-wheel drive
engages.
Key Switch
Use the key switch ( Figure 5 ) to start and shut of f
the engine.
The key switch has 3 positions: O FF , O N , and S TART .
Rotate the key switch clockwise to the S TART position
to engage the starter motor . Release the key switch
when the engine starts. The key switch moves
automatically to the O N position.
T o shut the engine of f, rotate the key switch
counterclockwise to the O FF position.
Supervisor Switch
Move the supervisor switch ( Figure 5 ) to the SLOW
position and remove the key . The supervisor switch
limits the engine speed to 2,200 rpm when the
machine is in third gear in the HIGH range, which
limits the top speed to 21 km/h (13 mph).
Hour Meter
The hour meter ( Figure 6 ) indicates the total hours of
machine operation.
The hour meter starts to function whenever you rotate
the key switch to the O N position and the engine
speed (rpm) is over 500 rpm every 6 minutes.
Third-High-Lockout Switch
Move the third-high-lockout switch ( Figure 5 ) to the
S LOW position and remove the key to prevent the use
of third gear when in the H IGH range. The engine
shuts of f if the shift lever moves to third gear when
in H IGH range.
Note: The key is removable in either position.
Light Switch
Push the light switch ( Figure 5 ) to toggle the headlights
on or of f.
Oil-Pressure-W arning Light
The oil-pressure-warning light ( Figure 6 ) illuminates if
the engine-oil pressure drops below a safe level while
the engine is running.
Important: If the light ickers or remains on,
stop the machine, shut off the engine, and check
the oil level. If the oil level is low , but adding
oil does not cause the light to go out when the
engine is started, shut off the engine immediately ,
and contact your Authorized Service Dealer for
assistance.
Check the operation of the warning lights as follows:
1. Engage the parking brake.
2. T urn the key switch to the O N /P REHEAT position,
but do not start the engine.
Note: The oil-pressure light should glow red.
If the light does not function, either a bulb is
burned out or there is a malfunction in the
system that you must repair .
Note: If engine was just shut of f, it may take 1
to 2 minutes for the light to come on.
