Hi there, can anyone tell me what the icon on the bottom left is for on this loader? And when I should toggle it? I suspect it is diff or lockup related but sure seems like a odd spot sharing a toggle switch with a light.

Clutch disconnect, and it allows left brake pedal application to disconnect the transmission, allowing you to rev the engine up, raising the lift speed of the boom.
I had 2 of them. Still have one.
