[I'll try:]
>PTO
[A relay controlled by the "mower" switch, powers the receptacle. Held
energized by a contact of itself, so a loss of power does not result in an
unexpected restart when power is again available. The circle represents the
electromagnet (coil, solenoid) part, the parallel lines, the contacts (same
convention for all the relays).]
>F, Forward, and R, Reverse
[Connect the armature to the battery in opposite directions. Energized
primarily by the first switch of the throttle, chosen by RTN or RTNR.]
>1A
>2A
[Control the lower speeds by adding resistance ( the flat strips near the
charger ) to the armature circuit. Controls by the next switches on the
throttle.]
>RTN (and RTNR)
[Choose direction, only after the safety switches are closed.]
>2AH
[Energized when there the armature is powered. Controls the field current.]
>CC
[Some magic I haven't tried to get to work, the cruise control.]

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice
But in practice, there always is.
