OPERATION

TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 3)

When starting the engine for the first time or if the engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra cranking time to move fuel from the tank to the engine.

•Be sure IZT (Integraded Zeroturn Transaxle) bypass linkages are in the drive position.

•Sit on the seat in the operators position, release park brake lever.

•Check to be sure the PTO switch is disengaged.

•Move the throttle control to the choke position.

•For a warm engine start, the choke control may not be needed

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting procedures below.

•Insert key into the ignition and turn the key clockwise to “START” position and release the key as soon the engine starts. Do not run the starter continuously for more than 15 seconds per minute. If the engine does not start after several attempts, push the throttle control into the choke position, wait a few minutes and try again. If the engine still does not start, move the throttle control back into the fast position and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

•When the engine starts, slowly pull the throttle control back until the engine begins to run smoothly. If the engine starts to run roughly, press the throttle control back forward to choke the engine for a few seconds. Then continue to pull the throttle control back to the fast position.

•The PTO switch and ground drive can now be used. If the engine does not accept the load, restart the engine and allow it to warm up for one minute using the choke as described above.
