3. Move the PTO (power take off) to "OFF" (Fig. 15).
4. Move the choke control to "ON" position before
starting a cold engine (Fig. 16).
Note: A warm or hot engine may require choking. After

(Fig. 16). If the engine stalls or hesitates, move the
choke back to "ON" for a few seconds. Then move the
throttle lever to desired setting. Repeat this as
