5. Ammeter (Figure 4-1).  Indicates the condition of

the charging system.  When the engine is running the

the needle is on the negative end of the meter, this
indicates a discharge condition and the machine
should be taken in for service.

6. Hourmeter (Figure 4-1).  Indicates the number of

hours the engine has been operated.  It operates
whenever the ignition switch key is in the ON
position.  It can be used to keep track of maintenance
intervals and the amount of time required to perform
various tasks.

7. Fuse Holders (Figure 4-1).  Two 20-amp fuses

protect the mower’s electrical system.  To replace
fuses, pull fuse out of the socket and install a new
fuse.

8. Left Steering Control (Figure 4-1).  Used to control

the mower's left wheel when traveling forward or

12. Dump Valve Control (Figure 4-2).  Located under

the seat, is used to “free-wheel” the mower.  Pulling
the lever back and locking in place allows the unit to
move under hydraulic power.  The lever must be in
this position during operation of the mower.  Pushing
the lever forward and locking in place allows the
mower to be moved by hand  (free-wheeling).
