Controls and Indicators

KEY SWITCH – GASOLINE VEHICLES

The key switch (7) is mounted on the instrument panel to the right of the steering column (Figure 6). It has three positions: OFF, ON, and START.

To start the vehicle, place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position and turn the key to the START position, and hold it there until the engine starts. Activate the choke (14) as necessary. If the engine does not start after 10-15 seconds, release the key and repeat the procedure. Once the engine starts, release the key and it will return to the ON position. The engine will idle in neutral. The engine will continue to idle until the key is turned to the OFF position. See following WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE.

WARNING

• Moving parts! Keep clear of the engine compartment while the engine is running.

CAUTION

Do not shift the Forward/Reverse handle while the accelerator pedal is pressed. Shift the handle only when the vehicle is at a complete stop and the engine is at idle. Failure to heed this caution could result in damage to the transmission.

NOTE: When the key is turned to the OFF position, the main vehicle systems are disabled. The key switch may be used as an emergency stop.

The key can be removed only when the key switch is in the OFF position.

KEY SWITCH – DIESEL VEHICLES

The key switch (7) is mounted on the instrument panel to the right of the steering column (Figure 7). It has four positions: PREHEAT, OFF, ON, and START.

Use the PREHEAT feature if the temperature falls below 23 °F (–5 °C). Do not hold the key in the PREHEAT position longer than 20 seconds. To preheat the glow plugs in cold weather, turn the key to the PREHEAT position, and hold it there for 10-15 seconds. Then turn the key to the START position, and hold it there until the engine starts. If the engine does not start after 10-15 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position and repeat the procedure. Once the engine starts, release the key and it will return to the ON position. The engine will idle in neutral. The engine will continue to idle until the key is turned to the OFF position. See previous WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTE.

FORWARD/REVERSE CONTROL

The Forward/Reverse handle (6) is located on the right side of the instrument panel (Figure 6 and Figure 7). The handle has three distinct positions: FORWARD (A), NEUTRAL (B), and REVERSE (C). Push the handle up to operate the vehicle in the forward direction, or pull the handle down to operate the vehicle in reverse. The engine can be started only when the handle is in the NEUTRAL (middle) position. The engine must be at idle before shifting the Forward/Reverse handle. See WARNING and CAUTION on page 15.

This vehicle operates at a reduced speed in reverse. If equipped with a reverse buzzer, the reverse buzzer will sound as a warning when the Forward/Reverse handle is in the REVERSE position.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL

The accelerator pedal (1) is the pedal farthest to the right (Figure 6 and Figure 7).

With the engine running and the Forward/Reverse handle in the FORWARD or REVERSE position, vehicle speed will increase as the accelerator pedal is pressed. When the accelerator pedal is released, it will return to the original position and the engine will idle. See WARNING and CAUTION on page 15.

12-VOLT ACCESSORY OUTLET

The 12-volt accessory outlet (11) is located to the right of the key switch (Figure 6 and Figure 7). It provides a constant 12VDC with the key switch in the ON or OFF position. See following NOTE.

NOTE: Extended use of this accessory outlet can cause the battery to become heavily discharged.

LOW OIL WARNING LIGHT

The low oil warning light (9) is located on the instrument panel just to the left of the steering column (Figure 6 and Figure 7). If the warning light lights up, oil should be checked and added to the engine as necessary before vehicle use continues. The vehicle should never be driven when the low oil warning light remains lit. If the warning light alternately lights and darkens, the vehicle may be driven, but oil should be added at the first opportunity. If the oil level is correct and the warning light remains lit, have a trained technician check the vehicle. See following CAUTION.

CAUTION

Failure to add oil immediately when the low oil warning light stays on may result in permanent engine damage.

FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER

The fuel gauge and hour meter (8) are housed together on the right side of the instrument panel (Figure 6 and Figure 7). The fuel gauge operates when the key switch is in the ON position and allows the operator to monitor the fuel level in the vehicle. The hour meter operates only when the engine is running, and should be used by the trained technician to track vehicle usage and determine when periodic service procedures are required. See Periodic
