Attach wing mower tongue to tow vehicle.
WARNING: Do not start wing 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.
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.
CAUTION: If the mower's engine dies while in use, remove the wing 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.
CAUTION: The engine full speed setting with mower blades running is 3350 RPM.
