Page 26

On a cold engine, place the throttle midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions and push choke lever forward into the “ON” position. 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 then ten (10) 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.

After starting a cold engine, gradually return choke to the “OFF” position as the engine warms up.

On a warm engine, place the throttle midway between the “SLOW” and “FAST” positions and leave the choke in the “OFF” position.

Blade contact can cause serious injury or kill you.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

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.

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.

Before stopping the engine, place the throttle control midway between the “slow” and “fast” positions. Allow the engine to run a minimum of 15 seconds; then stop the engine.
