Cutting Unit Drive Switch
The cutting unit drive switch (Figure 23) has two positions:
Engage and Disengage. The rocker switch operates a solenoid
valve on the valve bank to drive the cutting units.
Hour Meter
The hour meter (Figure 23) indicates the total hours of
machine operation. The hour meter starts to function
whenever the key switch is On.
Cutting Unit Shift Lever
To lower the cutting units to the ground, move the cutting
unit shift lever (Figure 23) forward. The cutting units will not
drop unless the engine is running. To raise the cutting units,
pull the shift lever rearward to the Raise position.
On Models 30839, 30849 & 30807, move the lever to the
right or left to move the cutting units in the same direction.
This should only be done when the cutting units are raised or
if they are on the ground and the machine is moving.
Note: The lever does not have to be held in the forward
position while the cutting units are lowered.
DANGER
On Models 30839, 30849 & 30807, shifting the
cutting units downhill decreases machine stability.
This could cause a rollover, which may result in
personal injury or death.
Shift the cutting units uphill while on a side hill.
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light
The temperature warning light (Figure 23) glows if the engine
coolant temperature is high. If the traction unit is not stopped
and the coolant temperature rises another 10° F, the engine
will kill.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
The oil pressure warning light (Figure 23) glows if the engine
oil pressure drops below a safe level.
Alternator Light
The alternator light (Figure 23) should be off when the engine
is running. If it is on, the charging system should be checked
and repaired as necessary.
Glow Plug Indicator
The glow plug indicator light (Figure 23) will glow when the
glow plugs are operating.
Parking Brake
Whenever the engine is shut off, engage the parking brake
(Figure 23) to prevent accidental movement of the machine.
To engage the parking brake, pull up on the lever. The engine
will stop if you press the traction pedal with the parking brake
engaged.
Lift Lever Lock
Move the lift lever lock (Figure 23) rearward to prevent the
cutting units from dropping.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge (Figure 24) registers the amount of fuel in
the tank.
