WARNING: Never allow either of the wheels to be in the FREEWHEEL position when the engine is running. Always put both wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE position before starting the engine.
Failure to comply could cause loss of tiller control, property damage, or personal injury.
Before starting the engine, put both wheels in the WHEEL DRIVE position by inserting the wheel drive Klik pins through the wheel hubs and the wheel shaft. Doing so “locks” the wheels to the wheel shaft, causing the wheels to turn when either the
Forward Clutch Bail (all models) or the Reverse Clutch Control (Models 643B & 645A) is engaged.
