Starting the Engine
WARNING!
Never run the engine indoors,
in enclosed or poorly
ventilated spaces. Engine
exhaust fumes contain
poisonous carbon monoxide.
1.
Move blade engagement lever to the
OFF position, so the interlock will allow
engine to start.
2.
Check gear shifter to be sure it is in the
neutral position.
3.
While on level terrain, squeeze both
motion control levers and set thumb
latches to lock them into the neutral
position.
This will ensure that mower's clutch is
engaged and the brake set.
