CAUTION Engage parking brake before starting engine.

3.Insert ignition key and turn to "Start" position. When engine starts, release ignition key. Key will return to "Run" position.

4.Move throttle from "Choke" to desired speed position.

5.Release parking brake.

6.Swing levers in.

7.Operate the mower per the "CONTROL" instructions on page 14.

NOTE: While mowing throttle control must be set to the MAXIMUM or wide open setting to insure adequate cooling of the engine and to maintain mower deck blade speed.

TO FREE WHEEL MACHINE:

Should it become necessary to push or pull the mower in a non-running mode, rotate the lever on top of the right hydrostat until it is held in place by the wire by-pass keeper. This will engage the hydraulic by-pass valves and allow the machine to free wheel.

Remember to disengage the hydraulic by- pass valves by pulling the wire by-pass keeper toward the rear of the machine. This will allow the lever to reposition itself for normal drive operation.
