CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Ignition Switch
Insert key in switch (1, Figure 1) and turn
clockwise as far as it will go to start engine,
then release. The reel control switch must be
in the off position and the traction control
pedal in the neutral position before starting
engine.
Do not hold key in “on” position more than 30
seconds at a time.
Key should be removed when tractor is not in
use to prevent unauthorized operation.
See STARTING THE ENGINE on page 11 for
complete starting information.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (2, Figure 1) indicates the
number of hours the tractor has been
operated. It can be used to keep track of
maintenance intervals and the amount of time
required to perform various tasks. The hour
meter operates whenever the ignition key is
in the “on” position.
Amp Meter
The amp meter (3, Figure 1) indicates the
condition of the charging circuit. It should
indicate a positive charge during normal
mowing. If the amp meter indicates a
negative reading, refer to the Briggs and
Stratton engine manual.
