IMPORTANT: DO NOT crank the engine continuously for more than 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, 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.

engaging PTO.
IMPORTANT: Operator must be in seat before the PTO can be engaged.
Set throttle to "midway" position. Pull outward on the switch to the "ROTATE"
position. Accelerate to full throttle to begin mowing.
Stopping PTO: Set the throttle to the "IDLE" position. Push in on the switch to
the "STOP" position stopping the PTO.
Stopping Engine: Bring unit to a full stop. Disengage the PTO, move motion
control levers out to the neutral lock position and set parking brake.
Before stopping the engine, place the throttle control midway between the

then stop the engine.
