Starting the Engine

1.Move the motion control levers out to the neutral lock position.

2.Pull up and back on the parking brake lever to engage the parking brake.

3.Push down on the PTO switch to the “disengage” position.

Note: It is not necessary for the operator to be in the seat to start the engine.

4.Place the throttle midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions.

5.On a cold engine, push the choke lever forward into the “ON” position.

On a warm engine, leave the choke in the “OFF” position.

6.Turn ignition switch to the “START” position. Release the switch as soon as the engine starts.

Important: Do Not crank the engine continuously for more than ten seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, allow a 60 second cool-down period between starting attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines can burn out the starter motor.

7.If the choke is in the “ON” position, gradually return choke to the “OFF” position as the engine warms up.

DANGER

The rotating blades under the mower deck are dangerous. Blade contact can cause serious injury or kill you.

Do Not put hands or feet under the mower or mower deck when the blades are engaged.

DANGER

An uncovered discharge opening will allow objects to be thrown in an operator’s or bystander’s direction. Also, contact with the blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade contact can cause serious injury or death.

Never operate the mower with the discharge deflector raised, removed, or altered unless there is a grass collection system or mulch kit in place and working properly.
