Water Temperature Light
The light (Fig. 25) glows and the engine automatically
shuts down when the engine coolant temperature gets too
high.
Water in the Fuel Indicator Light
The light (Fig. 25) glows when water is detected in the fuel.
Important Water must be drained from the fuel
filter/water separator to avoid serious engine damage; refer
to Draining Water from Fuel Filter/Water Separator,
page 20.
High Temperature Override Button
If the engine kills due to an overheating condition, press the
override button (Fig. 25) in and hold it until the machine
can be moved to a safe location and allowed to cool down.
Note: When using the override button, it must be held
down continuously to operate. Do not use it for extended
periods of time.

Break-In Period
Only 8 hours of mowing operation is required for the
machine break-in period.
Since the first hours of operation are critical to future
dependability of the machine, monitor its functions and
performance closely so that minor difficulties, which could
lead to major problems, are noted and can be corrected.
Inspect the machine frequently during break-in for signs of
oil leakage, loose fasteners, or any other malfunction.
To ensure optimum performance of the brake system,
burnish (break-in) the brakes before using the machine. To
burnish the brakes, firmly apply the brakes and drive the
machine at mowing speed until the brakes are hot, as
