TRACTOR OPERATION
ENGINE OPERATION
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
1. Place the throttle control to the CHOKE
position (See Figure 7).
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.
