Set parking brake on tow vehicle.
Attach mower tongue to tow vehicle.
Do not start rough cut mower unless it is attached to the tow vehicle.
Turn on the fuel shut off valve (red colored rotating knob) located inline on the fuel hose. The off

Set the choke to the desired position (Does not apply on the Model MR55KEI).
Set the throttle at approximately half throttle.
Start engine and allow engine to warm up.
Set the engine speed at about half throttle and engage the mower blades clutch by pulling
outward on the PTO switch. (The PTO switch is located at the front of the mower deck on the
control panel.)
Note: To help extend the life of the clutch the engine rpm should be placed as low as possible
before clutch engagement. If the engine should stall during clutch engagement raise
the engine rpm until clutch engagement is possible.
If the mower's engine dies while in use, remove the rough cut mower from the uncut
area before attempting to engage the clutch. Inspect the blades for any obstructions
that may prevent blade engagement. Failure to follow these instructions may result
in premature clutch and belt failure or a fire.
Adjust engine speed to full throttle.
