specific fuel recommendations.
3. Install and hand tighten the fuel cap.
4. Repeat same process for opposite tank.

Starting The Engine

parking brake and make sure the PTO switch is
disengaged and the motion control handles are
locked in the NEUTRAL position.
2. Make sure the fuel valve (B) is in the "ON" position.
3. Set the engine throttle control to FAST throttle
position. Then fully close the choke by pulling the
knob OUT fully.
4. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to
START.
5. After the engine starts, gradually open the choke
(push knob down fully).
Warm up the engine by running it for at least a minute
before engaging the PTO switch or driving the rider.
