Operating the Ignition Switch
1. Turn the ignition key to the Start position
(Figure 13). When the engines starts, release the key.
Important: Do not engage starter for more
than 5 seconds at a time. If the engine fails
to start allow a 15 second cool-down period
between attempts. Failure to follow these
instructions can burn out the starter motor.
Note: Additional starting cycles may be required
when starting the engine for the first time after the
fuel system has been without fuel completely.

Using the Speed Control Lever
This machine has a speed control lever that sets
the maximum ground speed of the machine. This
can be adjusted to the operator's desired speed. It
is recommended to use the slowest speed for new
operator's.
Note: The numbers next to the speed control are an
approximate miles per hour (mph) the machine will
travel.
1. Move the speed control lever to set the desired
speed.
• Full forward has quick response and maximum
speed.
• Full rearward has smooth response and slower
speed.
2. Move the control levers to drive the machine. The
control levers may be pushed forward to the front
reference bar while the maximum speed of the
machine is set by the speed control lever.
Using the Fuel Shut-Off Valve
The fuel shut-off valve is located behind the right side
of the operator cushion.
Close the fuel shut-off valve for transport, maintenance,
and storage (Figure 15).
Ensure the fuel shut-off valve is open when starting
the engine.
