Starting the Engine
Important:
Do not engage the starter for more than
5 seconds at a time. Engaging the starter motor for
more than 5 seconds can damage the starter motor. If
the engine fails to start, wait 10 seconds before operating
the engine starter again.
Note:
It may be necessary to hold the lever against the stop,
in the choke position, while trying to start the engine ( Figure
11 ).

Operating the Blades
The blade-control switch, represented by a power take-off
(PTO) symbol, engages and disengages power to the mower
blades. This switch controls power to any attachments that
draw power from the engine, including the mower deck and
cutting blades.
Engaging the Blades
Important:
Do not engage the blades when parked in
tall grass. Belt or clutch damage can occur.
Note:
Always engage the blades with the throttle in the
Fast position.
