3.3.2 Open fuel shut-off valve.
3.3.3 Starting Engine:
3.3.4 Engaging PTO:
DO NOT overfill fuel tank. Never fill the fuel tank so that the fuel level rises above
a level that is 1/2" below the bottom of the filler neck to allow for fuel expansion
and prevent fuel spillage.
IMPORTANT: The fuel system for Kohler EFI units must be purged of all air prior
to start up if the engine has been allowed to run out of gas or the system has been
disassembled. Turn the key to the "start" position for approximately 30 seconds.
If engine does not start, wait 1 minute to allow starter to cool down before
attempting to start engine again.
safety requirements.
maintenance steps.
There is no rollover protection when the roll bar is down. If it is necessary to lower
roll bar do not wear the seat belt. Raise the roll bar as soon as clearance permits.
The fuel shut off valve is located in the fuel line behind and to the right of the seat.
Rotate the valve 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to turn on fuel.
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.)
On a cold engine, place the throttle midway between the "SLOW" and "FAST"
positions and push choke lever forward (except Kohler EFI units) into the "ON"
position. 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.
After starting a cold engine (except Kohler EFI units), gradually return choke to the
"OFF" position as the engine warms up.
On a warm engine, place the throttle midway between the "SLOW" and "FAST"
positions and leave the choke in the "OFF" position.
