Operation

Pull the handle rearward and to the right to latch the cutting deck into the raised transport position (Figure 5).

Pre-Start

Fill fuel tank on level ground. For best results use only clean, fresh regular grade unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.

Important: Never use methanol, gasoline containing methanol, gasohol containing more than 10% ethanol, premium gasoline, or white gas because the fuel system could be damaged.

Do Not add oil to gasoline.

Do Not overfill fuel tank. Fill the fuel tank to the bottom of the filler neck. The empty space in the tank allows gasoline to expand. Overfilling may result in fuel leakage or damage to the engine or emission system.

Make sure you understand the controls, their locations, their functions, and their safety requirements.

Refer to the Maintenance section and perform all the necessary inspection and maintenance steps.

Operating Instructions

Open the Fuel Shut-Off Valve

Rotate the valve and align with the fuel line to open.

Starting the Engine

1.Leave the LH motion control lever in neutral and the RH lever in the PTO disengage position (see Figure 4).

2.Pull the parking brake lever rearward to engage the parking brake.

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

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.

PTO Engagement

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.

The PTO switch engages the cutting blades. Be sure all persons are clear of mower deck and discharge area before engaging the PTO.
