Starting Engine:
a) Brake must be engaged, motion control levers out (neutral lock
position) and PTO switch "OFF" to start engine. (It is not necessary for
the operator to be in the seat to start the engine.)
For 31 HP Daihatsu Gas Units:
b) On a warm engine, place the throttle midway between the "SLOW" and
"FAST" positions and leave the choke in the "OFF" position.
On a cold engine, place the throttle in the "FAST" position and pull the
choke to the "ON" position.
c) Turn ignition switch to the "start" position. Release the switch as soon as
the engine starts.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT crank the engine continuously for more then
ten (10) seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, allow a 60
second cool-down period between starting attempts. Failure to follow
these guidelines can burn out the starter motor.
d) After starting a cold engine, gradually return choke to the "OFF" position as
the engine warms up.
For 27 HP Daihatsu Diesel Units:
b) On a warm engine, place the throttle in the "SLOW" position.
On a cold engine (below 14° F (-10° C)), place the throttle in the "FAST" position.
Note: Do not use fuel left over from summer.
c) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. The glow plug light will turn
on. Wait for the glow plug light to turn off and turn the ignition switch to the
"START" position. Release the switch as soon as the engine starts.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT crank the engine continuously for more then
ten (10) seconds at a time. If the engine does not start, allow a 60
second cool-down period between starting attempts. Failure to follow
these guidelines can burn out the starter motor.

few minutes before moving the throttle to the "FAST" position.
