Operation
shut-off valve, to the left to the "ON" position.
On a warm engine, leave the choke in the "OFF"
position.
3. Place the throttle midway between the "SLOW"
and "FAST" positions located on rear RH side
of the engine.
4. Slowly pull the engine recoil handle until you feel
resistance and then stop. Allow the recoil handle
to return and then sharply pull it straight out.
Allow the rope to return slowly.
5. Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes,
move the choke toward the "OFF" position.
Stopping the Engine
1. Bring the unit to a full stop.
2. Place the throttle midway between the "SLOW"
and "FAST" positions.
3. Allow the engine to run for a minimum of 15
seconds, then turn the engine on/off switch to
the "OFF" position to stop the engine.
4. Wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving
the operating position.
5. Close the fuel shut-off valve, located below
the choke, by moving it to the left when the
machine will not be in use for a few days, when
transporting, or when the unit is parked inside
a building.
Driving the Machine
CAUTION
If the traction drive is not properly adjusted, the
machine may move in the direction opposite
of what you intended, causing injury and/or
property damage.
Carefully check the traction drive and adjust it
properly, if necessary.
Important: If the machine moves when the
traction lever is in the released position, check
the traction cable (refer to Check Traction
Cable and Traction Cable Adjustment sections
in Maintenance) or contact your authorized
EXMARK SERVICE DEALER.
Driving Forward:
1. Place the speed selector lever to the desired
forward position, making sure it locks in the
notch (see Figure 5).
Note: If the ground speed is too fast, debris or
snow will pile up in front of the broom causing
the broom to bulldoze instead of sweep. This can
damage the bristles and the drive line.
2. Slowly squeeze the LH traction drive lever to the
handle (see Figure 6).
Note: Holding down the traction drive lever
against the handle engages the traction drive to
both wheels.
3. To stop the traction drive, release the traction
drive lever.
4. To move forward, engage the traction drive,
slowly squeeze the left hand (traction) lever to the
handle (see Figure 7). Momentarily squeezing and
releasing the left or right wheel clutch lever allows
for steering adjustments to keep the machine
going in a straight line, especially in deep snow.
To turn right, lift up on the right wheel clutch
lever and squeeze it toward the handle. This
disengages the drive to the right wheel while the
left wheel continues driving, and the machine
turns to the right.
