Starting The Engine - Shibaura ST450 Operator's Manual

STARTING THE ENGINE

The key switch (1) in Figure 2-11, allows
activation of the starter motor and fuel delivery
only when:
The PTO control lever (2) in Figure 2-12, is in
the "OFF" position.
Range lever (3) in Figure 2-12, is in the
"NEUTRAL" position.
NOTE: Always use safe practices when starting
your tractor. Turn the key to the extreme right.
Position the hand throttle forward so that it is
one-fourth to one-third open.
WARNING
Always sit in the operator's seat and apply the
parking brake, when starting the tractor.
Never attempt to start the engine while
standing beside the tractor.
IMPORTANT: Do not engage the starting motor
continuously for more than 30 seconds. Doing so
may cause starting motor failure.
The engine will shut off in approximately two
seconds if the operator leaves the seat without
the range lever in the neutral position.
