STARTING PROCEDURE (Operating the Tractor)
NOTE:
Your tractor is equipped with an ignition
interlock switch under the seat.
The tractor engine will stop if you get off the
seat when the attachment drive clutch is in
the “ON” position, or the travel control lever is
in “FORWARD” or “REVERSE” position.
DO NOT operate your tractor and have this
interlock repaired if it does not function
correctly.
1. Put the travel control lever in the “NEUTRAL”
position.
2. Put the attachment drive switch in the “Off” posi-
tion.
3. Push the choke lever forward to close the choke.
The choke setting will change according to the air
temperature, engine temperature, and grade of
fuel.
4. Push the throttle lever forward approximately 1/3 of
the way between the “SLOW” and “FAST”
positions.
5. Turn the ignition key to the right and hold in the
“START” position. Release the key to the “RUN”
position when the engine starts running.
NOTE: Release the key immediately when the
engine starts. If you hold the key in the
“START” position after the engine is running
damage can occur. Release the key after 30
seconds if the engine does not start running.
Wait 3 minutes before you try again.
6. Pull the choke lever rearward slowly after the
engine starts running.
7. Permit the engine to warm before applying a load.
NOTE:
The hydraulic system must be warm before
you use the tractor when air temperatures
are less than 32°F (0°C). Use the following
procedure:
a.
Set the throttle 1/3 of the way between the
“SLOW” and “FAST” position.
b.
Select the “NEUTRAL” position of the dual
range transaxle.
c. Move the (travel) direction control lever to the
full “FORWARD” position. Press the foot travel
pedal fully down on 4200 series tractors.
d.
Run for several minutes before operating the
tractor. A noise can occur when the hydraulic
system is cold.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TRY TO START THE
TRACTOR BY PUSHING OR
TOWING. SERIOUS DAMAGE
WILL RESULT TO THE DRIVE
SYSTEM.
CAUTION: Operate tractor from
proper seat position only. Any other
method could result in a serious
injury.
CAUTION: Do not wear loose
clothing, which may catch in moving
parts.
CAUTION: Do not allow children to
operate the vehicle. Do not allow
adults to operate it without proper
instruction.
CAUTION: Do not carry passengers.
Do not mow when children and
others are around.
CAUTION: Disengage all attachment
clutches and shift into neutral
before attempting to start the engine
(motor).

the appropriate attachment operator
'
s
manual for specific operating instruc-
tions and safety messages that apply
to the attachment.
Remember, a careful operator is
always the best insurance against an
