5.OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

5.1PRE-START

5.1.1Fill fuel tank. For best results use only clean, fresh regular grade unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Regular grade leaded gasoline may also be used; however, combustion chamber and cylinder head will require more frequent service. See Engine Owner's Manual.

Note: Fuel tank may appear loose at set-up, however, once fuel is added, tank will slowly expand to fit tank straps.

Do not add oil to gasoline.

Never fill the fuel tank so that the fuel level rises above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion and prevent fuel spillage.

5.1.2Make sure you understand the controls, their locations, their functions, and their safety requirements.

5.1.3Refer to the Maintenance Section, and perform all of the necessary inspection and maintenance steps.

5.2MOWING

5.2.1Starting Engine: Operator must be in the seat with the parking brake engaged and the PTO disengaged.

Open fuel shut-off value.

On a cold engine, place the throttle midway between the "SLOW" and "FAST" positions and place the choke in the "ON" position. On a warm engine, place the throttle midway between the "SLOW" and "FAST" positions and leave the choke in the "OFF" position.

Turn ignition switch to "START" position. Release the switch as soon as the engine starts.

After starting a cold engine, gradually return choke to the "OFF" position after engine warms up.

IMPORTANT: Do not crank the engine continuously for more than ten (10) 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.

5.2.2Stopping Engine: Bring unit to a full stop. Disengage the PTO and engage the park brake.

Before stopping the engine, place the throttle control midway between the “slow” and “fast” positions. Allow the engine to run a minimum of 15 seconds; then stop the engine.

The zero-turn capability further enhances its agility, making it simple to turn around tight corners and narrow spaces without needing to reposition.

Safety is also prioritized in the design of the TR23KC. It features an automatic engine shut-off system that activates when the operator leaves the platform. This ensures that the mower remains safe to use and reduces the risk of accidents.
