Stopping the Engine

Allow the engine to idle a minute in order to attain normal operating temperature before stopping it, if it has been worked hard. Avoid idling the engine for longer periods, as there is a risk of the spark plugs fouling.

•Disengage the mower deck by sliding the blade control lever out of the lock notch and down into the lower position.

•Raise the mower deck by pulling the lifting lever upward to the transport position.

•When the machine is standing still, activate the parking brake by pulling the lever backward.

•Move the throttle to the minimum position (tortoise symbol). Turn the ignition key to the stop position. Never use choke to stop the engine.

•Move the steering controls outward.

•Remove key. Always remove key when leaving the mower to prevent unauthorized use.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Leaving the ignition switch in any other position than “OFF” will cause the battery to be discharged.
