positions – Stop, Run, and Start. See Figure 2.6. Turn
key and hold momentarily at “Start” position to crank
the engine. After starting, release key to “Run” position.
Turn key to “Stop” position to stop engine. Turning the
key to the “Run” position will enable use of the
headlights and the 12 volt accessory plug. However,
when using the headlights or accessory plug, the
engine should be running to prevent discharging the
battery.

2.2.11. Speedometer/Fuel Gauge Combo. Both
functions are contained within the one dial. See Figure

Combo. See Figure 2.6. With ignition off, LCD
readout displays hours engine used. With engine
started, readout displays RPM’s. After first seven (7)
hours of use, and every forty-nine (49) hours thereafter,
the ServiceMinder displays a message indicating oil
change is required. The message will be displayed for
two (2) hours, and will continue even if oil is changed
within the two hour period. After two hours, whether oil
is changed or not, display will revert back to
hourmeter/tachometer function.

secured in the lowered position by two spring latches
located on either side of the machine. Pull outward on
the latch lever (located behind the left cargo bed lift
handle) to release the bed, and lift via the handle. Use
