the choke. Push to knob DOWN to open the choke.

engages and disengages the mower. Pull UP on the

stops the engine, it has three positions:

electrical system.

NOTE: Never leave the ignition switch in the RUN

position with the engine stopped–this drains the

number of hours the PTO has been engaged. The

hour meter has a self contained power source so that

total hours are always visible.
