• Do not start the unit until all the steps of
the pre-operation checklist at the
beginning of this section have been
completeed. After completing these
checks, set parking brake (F, Fig. 5-6),
place attachment/PTO drive switch (A, Fig.

Unit will not start if brake (E) 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 iever (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 prolonged periods. Engine will run
poorly (rich fuel mixture) if over-choked.
