STARTING THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT: READ THE SEPARATE, ENCLOSED ENGINE

TION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS.
ELECTRIC STARTING
1. Check PTO safety clutch (should be in OFF posi-
tion) and gear shift (should be in NEUTRAL).
2. Pull choke knob all the way out (to fully close
choke). Experience will indicate need for more or
less choking due to variations in temperature, grade
of fuel, etc.
3. Turn throttle knob counterclockwise to unlock
if necessary. Pull throttle knob out about half - way
until after engine has started, then adjust to desired
RPM and lock at this setting, if desired, by turning
knob clockwise.
4. Insert ignition key and turn clockwise, against
spring tension, to actuate starter. Release key when
engine starts.
5. Choke should be partially opened (knob pushed
forward) as soon as engine starts and then gradually
pushed all the way forward as the engine warms up.
In normal operation, choke knob should be in OPEN
(forward) position for best engine efficiency and fuel
economy.
