when starting the engine for the first time after the
fuel system has been completely drained.

Fast positions until the engine and hydraulic system
warm up.
Important: When engine is started for the
first time, or after an engine oil change, or an
overhaul of the engine, transmission, or wheel
motor, operate the machine with the throttle
lever in the Slow position in both the forward
and reverse directions for one to two minutes.
Also operate the lift lever and PTO lever to
ensure proper operation of all parts. Then shut
the engine off and check fluid levels, check for
oil leaks, loose parts, and any other noticeable
malfunctions.
Shut the engine off and wait for all moving
parts to stop before checking for oil leaks, loose
parts, or other malfunctions.
Driving the Machine
The throttle control regulates the engine speed as
measured in rpm (revolutions per minute). Place
the throttle control in the Fast position for best
performance. Always operate in the Fast throttle
position when running powered attachments.
