TRACTOR OPERATION

ENGINE OPERATION

STARTING A COLD ENGINE

1.Place the throttle control to the CHOKE position (See Figure 7).

FIGURE 8 Choke Position

2.Pull the starter rope slowly and with low force until the slack is out of the rope and resistance is felt (See Figure 9).

3.When resistance is felt, pull the rope with enough force to turn the engine fast enough to start the engine. Return the pull rope gently to the retracted position.

4.When the engine starts, position the throttle to the RUN position for 30 seconds to allow the engine to warm up (See Figure 10).

5.After the engine has warmed up, slowly place the throttle to the IDLE position (See Figure 11).

6.Move the throttle to the RUN position when operating the machine (See Figure 10).

NOTE: Operating conditions may not require setting to full RUN position.

STARTING A WARM ENGINE

1.Place the throttle control slightly past the IDLE position (See Figure 11).

2.Pull the starter rope slowly and with low force until the slack is out of the rope and resistance is felt (See Figure 9).

3.When resistance is felt, pull the rope with enough force to turn the engine fast enough to start the engine.
