STARTING THE ENGINE

See engine manufacturer’s recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel used. Trail Mowers equipped with an electric start engine will need a battery (sold separately). Swisher recommends using a standard “12N12A” battery.

•Make sure the tow vehicle parking brake is set, mower is level, and blades are disengaged. Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill.

•Check spark plug wire, oil, and fuel.

•Check all electrical connections for build-up or debris.

•Make sure toggle switch is not turned “OFF” and safety tether is attached.

•Set engine Throttle to “Run” position (Rabbit).

•Move the “Choke” Lever to the on position. (Cold engine only)

•With feet clear of mower deck, turn key switch to the “START” position; release when engine begins to run (12volt models). Recoil models must use pull-rope. Pull rope with a single fluid motion.

•Set engine throttle at maximum RPM.

•Allow engine to run a few moments before engaging blades.

BREAKING IN YOUR MOWER

•Set vehicle parking brake or chock wheels to prevent accidental rolling.

•Start engine properly.

•Slowly, engage blade control.

•In a safe environment, i.e. no children, allow blades to rotate and engine to idle for 5 minutes. This breaks in the belts and the engine.

•Stop mower properly.
