3. Move the PTO (power take off) to the off position
(Fig. 14).
4. Move the choke control to on position before starting a
cold engine (Fig. 15).
Note: A warm or hot engine may require choking. After
engine starts, move choke control to the off position.
5. Move the throttle control to the fast position before
starting a cold engine (Fig. 16).
6. Turn ignition key to start to energize starter. When
engine starts, release key (Fig. 17).
Important
Do not engage starter for more than 10
seconds at a time. If engine fails to start allow 30 second
cool-down period between attempts. Failure to follow
these instructions can burn out starter motor.
7. After the engine starts, move the choke to off (Fig. 15).
If the engine stalls or hesitates, move the choke back
to on for a few seconds. Then move the throttle lever
to desired setting. Repeat this as required.

Stopping the Engine
1. Push the PTO to off (Fig. 16).
2. Move the throttle lever midway between the slow and
fast positions (Fig. 16).
3. Let the engine idle for 60 seconds (Fig. 17).
4. Turn the ignition key to off (Fig. 17).
5. Pull wire off spark plug(s) to prevent possibility of
someone accidentally starting the machine before
transporting or storing machine.
6. Close fuel shut off valve, on front panel before
transporting or storing machine.
Important
Make sure that the fuel shut off valve is
closed before transporting or storing the machine, as fuel
leakage may occur. Set the parking brake before
transporting. Make sure to remove the key as the fuel
pump may run and cause the battery to lose charge.
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
