STARTING THE ENGINE

IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with a safety interlock system for your protection. The purpose of the safety interlock system is to prevent the engine from cranking or starting unless the clutch-brake pedal is depressed and the lift lever is in the disen- gaged position. In addition, the lift lever must be in the disengaged position when the unit is put into reverse or the engine will shut off. If the operator leaves the seat with the lift lever engaged and/or without setting the parking brake, the engine will shut off.

WARNING: Do not operate the tractor if the interlock system is malfunctioning because it is a safety device, designed for protection.

1.Place the lift lever in the DISENGAGED position.

2.Depress the clutch-brake pedal and set the park- ing brake.

3.Place the hydrostatic control lever in the NEU- TRAL (N) position.

4.Set the throttle control in the FAST position.

5.Pull out the choke control (a warm engine may not require choking).

6.Turn the ignition key to the right to the START position. After the engine starts, release the key. It will return to the ON position.

NOTE: Protect the starter life by using short starting cycles of several seconds. Cranking more than 15 seconds per minute can damage the starter motor.

7.Push choke knob in gradually. Move the throttle control to desired engine speed.
