Easy-to-see-and-use electric fuel gauge, instruments, and controls

CONTROL CONSOLE INCLUDES AN EASY-TO-READ FUEL GAUGE

The control console is located to the right of the operator station and includes the following:

Digital display
  • Easy-to-read fuel gauge keeps track of the amount of fuel remaining to minimize time spent stopping to refuel.
  • Hour meter shows operating hours to keep maintenance on schedule.
  • Ignition switch
  • Power take-off (PTO) control (yellow)
  • Engine speed control (orange)
  • Spring-loaded engine choke control so it is not inadvertently left on
  • Space for an additional electric control switch
FUEL SIGHT WIDOW AND FILL CAP

A conveniently located fuel-sight window allows the operator to view the fuel level when approaching the vehicle from the front:

  • Semi-clear material makes seeing how much fuel is in the tank quick and easy.
Large, 3-in. (7.6-cm) diameter fuel-fill opening reduces the chance of spilling when adding fuel.
  • Fuel-fill opening is low and angled to make adding fuel easy.
Cap is tethered to the fuel tank.
  • Less chance of fuel cap getting lost
