OPERATIONAL CONTROLS

Fuel Shut-off Valve (S) The fuel shut-off valve controls power unit engine. Turn the valve counterclockwise (1) to the stop to allow fuel to flow to the engine. Turn the valve clockwise (0) to the stop to shut off fuel flow to prevent fuel leakage when changing the fuel filters or when servicing the fuel system.

Weight Transfer Traction Control Select Lever (W) The weight transfer system transfers weight from the attachment to the front wheels of the power unit. Transferring weight from the attachment to the power unit increases the traction control, improves hillside maneuver- ability, aids in lifting the attachment, reduces the steering effort, and lessens the attach - ment resistance when in contact with the ground. The operator can select different transfer rates by selecting one of the five positions from no weight transfer (0) to maximum weight transfer (4). Set the weight transfer to 0 when attaching or detaching any attachment. Choke Lever (X) Pull the choke handle out to aid in starting a cold en- gine. Push the choke handle in for operation.
