Ignition Switch - DeWalt 47AKBCA Guide D'utilisation

OPERATION, cont'd
5) Power Take-Off (PTO)
Electric PTO
The PTO switch operates the electric PTO clutch mounted on the
bottom of the engine crankshaft. Pull the switch knob upward to
engage the PTO clutch, or push the knob downward to disengage
the clutch.
The PTO switch must be in the "OFF" position when starting
the engine.

6) Ignition Switch

WARNING: Never leave a running machine unattended.
Always disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine, and remove key to
prevent unintended starting.
The ignition switch has three positions:
STOP — The engine and electrical system is turned off.
RUN — The tractor electrical system is energized.
START — The starter motor will turn over the engine. Release the key immediately
when the engine starts.
nOTE: To prevent accidental starting and/or battery discharge, remove key from the
ignition switch when tractor is not in use.
7) Transmission Bypass Rods
The transmission bypass rods (one for each RH and LH transmission) are located on the
rear of the tractor, next to the engine. When engaged, the two rods open a bypass within
the hydrostatic transmissions, which allows the tractor to be pushed short distances by
hand. Refer to the Assembly section for additional instructions.
CAUTION: Never tow tractor. Towing the tractor with the rear wheels on the
ground may cause severe damage to the transmissions.
8) Cup Holder
The cup holder is located on the top of the console.
9) Storage Tray
The storage tray is located to the rear of the console.
10) Fuel Tank Cap
Turn the fill cap counter-clockwise and pull upward to remove. The fuel cap is tethered to
the tractor to prevent its loss. Do not attempt to remove the cap from the tractor. Fill tank to
1/2" (12.7 mm) below the bottom of the filler neck, allowing some space in the tank for fuel
expansion. Do not overfill the tank.
Push the cap downward on the fuel tank fill neck and turn at least two clicks clockwise to
tighten. Always re-install the fuel cap tightly onto the fuel tank after removing.
WARNING: Never fill the fuel tank when the engine is running. If the engine
is hot from recently running, allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before
refueling. Highly flammable gasoline could splash onto the engine and
cause a fire.
11) Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge is located to the left of the seat and provides an indicator of the current
fuel level in the tank.
12) Hour Meter & LCD Service Minder (If equipped)
The LCD service minder will remind the
operator of maintenance intervals for
changing the engine oil, air filter service, low
engine and low battery warnings. When the
key is rotated out of the STOP position but
is not in the START position, the LCD service
minder & hour meter will briefly display the
battery voltage, followed by the tractor's
accumulated hours.
nOTE: When the ignition key is out of the
STOP position the hourglass symbol is
illuminated/blinks to indicate it is recording the hours of tractor operation, regardless of
whether the engine has been started.
Change Oil
The LCD screen will alternate the letters "CHG", followed by "OIL", followed by "SOON",
followed by the meter's accumulated time. "CHG/OIL/SOON/TIME" will alternate on the
display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 50 hours. This oil service minder interval will
occur every 50 hours. Before the interval expires, change the engine oil as instructed in
the Engine Operator's Manual.
low Oil
nOTE: The low oil pressure function only works if the engine is equipped with an oil
pressure switch.
The LCD screen will alternate the letters "LO" followed by "OIL", followed by the meter's
accumulated time, which indicates the engine has low oil pressure. This is common
when starting an engine. The indicator will remain active until the engine sufficiently
builds pressure after starting. If it remains on with the engine at full speed and after a few
minutes of operation, stop the tractor immediately, check the engine oil level and add
as instructed in the Engine Operator's Manual. If the oil level is correct and the indicator
persists, contact an authorized service dealer.
low Battery
At startup, the battery voltage will briefly display, then changes to accumulated hours.
The letters "LO" followed by the letters "BATT" will display, followed by the meter's
accumulated time. "LO/BATT/TIME" is displayed on the LCD when the voltage drops
below 11.5 volts. When this occurs, the battery is in need of a charge or the engine's
charging system is not generating sufficient amperage. Charge the battery as instructed
in the Service and Maintenance section of this manual or have the charging system
checked by a local service dealer.
Air Filter service
The LCD screen will display the letters "CLN" followed by the letters "AIR", followed by "FILT",
followed by the meter's accumulated time. "CLN/AIR/FILT/TIME" will alternate on the
display for 7 minutes after the meter reaches 25 hours. This air filter service minder time
interval will be displayed every 25 hours. On intervals that are common with oil service,
the oil message will be displayed first followed by the air filter message.
13) Throttle/Choke Control Lever or Throttle Control Lever
nOTE: When set in a given position, a uniform engine speed will be maintained.
Throttle Control lever (if equipped)
Push the throttle control lever forward to increase
the engine speed. The tractor is designed to
operate with the throttle control lever at full
throttle (FAST) when the tractor is being driven and the tractor deck is engaged. Pull the
throttle control lever rearward to decrease the engine speed.
Throttle/Choke Control lever (if equipped)
Push the throttle/choke control lever
forward to increase the engine speed. The
tractor is designed to operate with the
throttle/choke control lever at full throttle (FAST) when the tractor is being driven and
the tractor deck is engaged. Pull the throttle/choke control lever rearward to decrease
the engine speed. When starting the engine, push the control lever fully forward into
the "CHOKE" position. After starting and warming the engine, move the control handle
rearward until you feel it move past the choke detent. Throttle is not meant to control
unit speed, throttle should remain in high speed while operating blades.
14) Choke Control (If equipped)
The choke control determines the position of the engine choke.
Pull the knob out to choke the engine; push the knob in to open
the choke.
15) Multi-Tool
The multi-tool is located on the back of
the right console. The multi-tool can be
used as a deck lift lockout, adjust the
height of the lapbar drive control levers,
drive control lever stop adjustment
and can be used as a removal tool with
the 1/2" socket end. See the Service
and Maintenance section for more
information on multi-tool usage. See
Figure 24.
Seat Adjustment Lever (Not shown)
The seat adjustment lever is located under the seat. The seat adjustment lever allows for
adjustment forward or backward of the operator's seat. Refer to the Assembly section for
instructions on adjusting the seat position.
nOTE: If tractor is not equipped with a seat adjustment lever, it can be adjusted using
the knobs on the underside of the seat. Refer to the Assembly section for instruction on
adjusting the seat.
