that the rear part of the seat is secured with the
seat latch.
Open the Fuel Valve
1. Slowly open the fuel valve to equalize the pressure
in the tank. The fuel valve is located on the top
end of the LPG tank. If the fuel valve is opened
too quickly, the pressure relief valve is equipped
with a back pressure check valve that will shut off
the fuel supply. If this happens, close the fuel
valve completely and wait five seconds. Slowly
open the fuel valve.
2. Rotate the fuel valve counterclockwise to turn on
the fuel. If leaks are detected, refer to the leak
information in the
Inspection section in Safety.
Starting the Engine
1. Move the motion control levers out to the neutral
lock position.
2. Pull up and back on the parking brake lever to
engage the parking brake.
3. Push in on the PTO switch to the “STOP”
position.
Note:
It is not necessary for the operator to be
in the seat to start the engine.
4. Place the throttle in the “SLOW” position.
5. Turn ignition switch to the “START” position.
Release the switch as soon as the engine starts.
Important:
Do Not crank the engine
continuously for more than ten seconds at a
time. If the engine does not start, allow a 60
second cool-down period between starting
attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines
can burn out the starter motor.
Engaging the PTO
DANGER
The rotating blades under the mower deck
are dangerous. Blade contact can cause
serious injury or kill you.
Do Not put hands or feet under the mower
or mower deck when the blades are engaged.
DANGER
An uncovered discharge opening will allow
objects to be thrown in an operator’s or
bystander’s direction. Also, contact with the
blade could occur. Thrown objects or blade
contact can cause serious injury or death.
Never operate the mower with the discharge
deflector raised, removed, or altered unless
there is a grass collection system or mulch
kit in place and working properly.
The PTO push-pull switch engages the cutting blades.
Be sure that all persons are clear of the mower deck
and discharge area before engaging PTO.
Important:
Operator must be in seat before the
PTO can be engaged.

Disengaging the PTO
