Operating Instructions, Open the Fuel Valve

Operation

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

Note: After starting the engine and engaging the hydro drive, if either of the drive wheels acts sluggish or will not rotate at all, stop engine and refer to the Hydraulic System Air Purge Procedure in Maintenance.

Operating Instructions

Important: If at anytime you sense something is wrong with the LPG equipment, stop the mower in a safe location and turn the mower off. If you can safely do so, close the fuel valve and try to find the cause; otherwise, get away from the mower and contact trained and qualified personnel immediately.

Open the Fuel Valve

1.Slowly open the fuel valve to equalize the pressure in the tank. The fuel valve is located on the top of the LPG tank. If the fuel valve is opened too quickly, the pressure relief valve is equipped with a back pressure check valve that will shut off the fuel supply. If this happens, close the fuel valve completely and wait five seconds. Slowly open the fuel valve.

2.Rotate the fuel valve counter-clockwise to turn on the fuel. If leaks are detected, refer to the leak information in the Inspection section in Safety.

Starting the Engine

1.Push in on the PTO switch to the “STOP” position.

2.Place the throttle in the “SLOW” 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 starter cool-down period between starting attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines can burn out the starter motor.

Note: It is helpful to have the left and right neutral lock latches locked in neutral when starting

the engine. Refer to Neutral Lock Latches section in Controls.
