How To Select Preset Operating Speeds (Bump
Speeds)
First select Turtle (Slow) or Adj by pressing speed
select switch (J) to “Turtle” (slow) or “Adj”(center).
Then you can press either the upper or lower portion
of the bump speed enable switch (H) to unlock the
setting. The bump speed enable must be held down as
the speed select switch (J) is used to change the
setting by pressing (+) to increase speed or (-) to
decrease speed.
Once the slow idle speed has been set, the bump
speed enable switch must be pressed and released
three times within two seconds to commit the new
operating speed to memory. If not done, the engine’s
new speed will only be effective until the key switch is
shut off. Then the speed will revert back to the
previous setting.
The fast idle speed is not adjustable. It will always go
back to the factory preset fast idle speed.
K—Analog Throttle Control (Optional)
The throttle control (K) is used to control engine
speed. This control is available only on engines with
analog throttle.
L—Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
The oil pressure gauge (L) indicates engine oil
pressure. An audible alarm (D) warns the operator if
engine oil pressure falls below a safe operating
pressure.
M—Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
The engine coolant temperature gauge (M) indicates
engine coolant temperature. An audible alarm (D)
warns the operator if coolant temperature rises above
the preset safe operating temperature.
