operator controls. Knowing the location,

tion of the mower.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is located on the right front of the
body and is used to start and stop the engine. The
switch has three positions: “O” is the
OFF
position,
ON (RUN)
is the position the key returns to after
starting, and “S” is the
START
position. When start
ing the engine, turn the key clockwise to the “S”
position. Do not hold the key in the “S” position
longer than 10 seconds.
If the engine does not start, return the key to the “O”
position for at least 60 seconds before making a re
start attempt. Prolonged cranking can damage the
starter motor and shorten battery life. Release the
key when the engine starts, and it will return to the
ON (RUN)
position. To stop the engine, rotate the
key counterclockwise to the “O” position.
