Page 13

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE

If the starter disengages several times prematurely, the engine may become flooded. Use the following steps to start a flooded engine:

1.Position the throttle to the idle position.

2.Put the Choke Lever in the OFF position.

3.Turn the ignition switch to the START position and at the same time, slowly move the Choke Lever to the ON position until the engine starts and continues to run.

4.When the engine becomes warm, gradually put the choke lever in the OFF position.

Note: If the engine falters after putting the unit into motion, push the choke forward until the engine runs smoothly. Then gradually pull the choke back as the engine warms.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1.Bring the tractor to a stop by pulling the drive handles to the neutral position.

2.Push down on the PTO switch (off) if engaged.

3.Set the throttle to the slow position.

4.Allow the engine to idle for a few seconds.

5.Turn the key to the OFF position.

WARNING: Always remove the key from the ignition switch to avoid accidental starting and battery discharge.

OPERATING THE CHOKE LEVER

•ON: Push the lever forward (toward the front of the tractor).

•OFF: Pull the lever back (toward the rear of the tractor).

OPERATING THE THROTTLE LEVER

•FASTER ENGINE SPEED: Push the throttle lever forward toward the Rabbit symbol.

•SLOWER ENGINE SPEED: Pull the throttle lever back toward Turtle symbol.

The Throttle Lever controls the speed of the engine. When set in a given position, it maintains a uniform engine speed. When using power take-off (PTO) equipment (e.g. mower deck) best performance is achieved with the Throttle Lever in the FAST position.
