CONTROLS
© IMPLEMENT POWER CONTROL SWITCH - FIGURE 1
Pull the switch out (“ON”) to engage the electro-magnetic
clutch to drive the mower (center PTO) and front mounted (Front
PTO) attachments. (See Figure 27 also).
NOTE: ON MODELS GT17 AND GT19, THERE ARE TWO SWIT­
CHES. THE SECOND SWITCH CONTROLS THE REAR PTO.
THESE SWITCHES © MUST BE PUSHED IN (“OFF”) BEFORE
THE ENGINE CAN BE STARTED. THEY MUST ALSO BE IN THE
“OFF” POSITION WHEN THE OPERATOR LEAVES THE SEAT OR
THE ENGINE WILL STOP. IF THE OPERATOR LEAVES THE SEAT
MOMENTARILY, AND THE ENGINE RESUMES NORMAL OPERA­
TION, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO PUSH THESE SWITCHES TO
THE “OFF” POSITION, THEN PULL TO “ON” POSITION, TO
RESET THE SAFETY MODULE AND RETURN THE AT­
TACHMENTS TO OPERATION.
0 IMPLEMENT POWER INDICATOR LIGHT - FIGURE 1
This light glows red when either of the Implement Power Control
Switches ® is pulled out to indicate that an attachment is
engaged (PTO engaged).
© THROTTLE LEVER - FIGURE 1
Raise the lever to increase engine speed. Lower the lever to
decrease engine speed.
© IGNITION SWITCH - FIGURE 1
Turn the key fully clockwise to start the engine and release when
the engine starts. Turn the key counterclockwise to stop the
engine. Be sure switch is turned off when engine is not running
to prevent accidental starts during maintehance operations, as
well as to prevent battery drain and hour meter run-on.
® CHOKE CONTROL — FIGURE 1
Pull Choke Control out when attempting to start a cold engine or
when starting during cold weather. When engine starts, gradual­
ly push choke in. Normally, it is not necessary to use the choke
when starting a warm engine.
0 LIGHT SWITCH - FIGURE 1
Pull the switch out to turn on the front and rear lights. The igni­
tion key must be turned on before the lights work.
© SEAT INTERLOCK SWITCH
This switch, located in the seat, is actuated by the operator’s
weight. If the operator leaves the seat for any reason while the
PTO is “ON” or the Hydrostatic Control Lever is not in
“PARK/START” the PTO clutch and engine ignition are both
shut off. When the PTO is “OFF” and the Hydrostatic Control
Lever is in “PARK/START” leaving the seat will not cause the
engine to stop.
® HYDRAULIC LIFT CONTROL LEVER - FIGURE 2
This lever controls the hydraulic system used to raise and lower
attachments. The lever has four positions — “UP”, “HOLD”,
“DOWN” and “FLOAT”. The normal out-of-use position is the
“HOLD” position. In this position the attachment will not raise^
or lower. When it is desired to raise the implement, move the'^
lever to the “UP” position; to lower the attachment move the'^^
lever to the “DOWN” position. Place the lever in the “FLOAT”
position to allow the attachments to follow the ground contours.
0 AMMETER — FIGURE 1
The Ammeter indicates the rate of battery charge or discharge.
The indicator should register on the (-F) side of the dial when
the engine is running at any speed above a slow idle. When the
engine is idling or with a fully charged battery, the ammeter may
not show charge. Should the ammeter register on the (-) side
of the dial for an extended period of time with the engine run­
ning, it indicates the alternator is not charging the battery.
Check the battery connections or contact your dealer.
