• Do not start this unit until you have
completed all the steps of the pre­
operation checklist at the beginning of this
section. After completing these checks,
set parking brake (F, Fig. 5-7), place
attachment/PTO drive switch (A, Fig. 5-6)
into the O (disengaged) position. Unit
will not start if brake is not depressed
and/or attachment/PTO drive is engaged.
Starting Procedure
• Sit in operator's seat.
• Move choke lever (B) all the way up to
top of slot.
• Move throttle lever (C) halfway up.
• Insert key into ignition switch (D). Turn
key clockwise to start engine. Release key
when engine starts.
IN CASE OF FALSE START: If engine revs
up enough to disengage starter but fails to
continue running — allow all moving parts
to stop completely before using starter
again.
Limit continuous cranking to no more than
10 seconds. Longer cranking intervals will
cause starter to overheat. Overheating
may damage starter. If cranked for more
than 10 seconds, allow starter to cool for
at least one minute.
• When engine starts, move choke (B)
halfway down (half choke).
• Gradually move choke lever all the way
down (choke off) as engine warms up.
NOTE: Do not run engine with choke on
for protonged periods. Engine will run
poorly (rich fuel mixture) if over-choked.
