White LT-135 - Choke Control Function; Choke Control Operation; Light Switch Operation; Headlight Operation

CHOKE CONTROL
The choke control is located on the right side of the
dashboard and is operated manually. Details for the
choke operation are covered in the separate engine
manual packed with your unit. See figure 9.
LIGHT SWITCH
The head lamps are operated by pushing the light
switch located on the dashboard. The head lamps will
only operate when the engine is running. See figure 9.
AMMETER
The ammeter registers the rate of battery charge or
discharge. The ammeter will register on the discharg¬
ing side with starting the engine. It should register on
the opposite side (charging) when the engine is run¬
ning in the fast position until the battery is completely
charged. With a fully charged battery or with the
engine idling, the ammeter will not show a charge.
See figure 9.
HYDROSTATIC CONTROL LEVER
The hydrostatic control lever is located on top of the
fender on the left side of the tractor. This single con¬
trol lever, connected to the hydrostatic transmission,
controls both the speed and direction of the tractor.
Infinite speed control is achieved by moving the con¬
trol lever forward or backward. The farther forward or
backward you move the control lever, the faster you
will travel. Pulling the control lever into neutral (N)
area will stop the tractor. See figure 10.

The clutch-brake pedal is located on the left side of
the tractor. See figure 9. Depressing the pedal returns
the drive unit to neutral (N) and applies the brake.

To set the parking brake, depress the clutch-brake
pedal, pull up the parking brake knob and release the

A hydrostatic relief valve is provided so the unit can
be moved without the engine running. The lever which
operates the relief valve is located on the console.
See figure 11.
To operate the relief valve, place the hydrostatic con¬
trol lever in neutral, release the parking brake, push
the lever fonward and to the right to lock. Be certain to
release the lever by pushing it to the left before oper¬
ating the engine.
