WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

  Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is

an odorless deadly poison.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

  Carbon monoxide can kill you and is also known to the

State of California to cause birth defects.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

  Do not run engine indoors or in a small confined area

where dangerous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.

NOTE:  A cold weather starting kit has been added for ease of starting in
either cold weather or when the unit has not been run for a period of time.

To use cold start kit:

a) Place shifter in neutral position.

b) Pull split ring straight out the side of the unit, and hook the ring over

the lower front hydro control shield bolt.

c) Start engine. Refer to the following guidelines for further starting

suggestions.

To engage pump drive (unhook cold start kit)

a) Pull chain straight out from the side of the unit until the split ring can

be removed from the bolt.

SLOWLY

 release tension on chain.

On a cold engine, place the throttle in the full forward “Choke” position.  Turn

the key switch to the “Run” position.  Pull recoil rope to start engine.

With a cold engine, gradually return choke to the full throttle position after the

engine starts and warms up.

NOTE: Kawasaki engines generally need to be “choked” even when
warm.

NOTE:  It is helpful to have the left and right neutral lock latches applied

when starting the engine, See Controls Section 4.1.

4.3.3

Stopping Engine: Disengage blade drive, shift transmission to neutral and lock
the drive levers in neutral. Move throttle to the “Slow” position. Allow engine to
idle for 30 seconds to allow cool down. Move the throttle to the midway
position.  Turn the key to the “Off” position and remove the key.

4.3.4

Drive Lever/Neutral Lock Latch Operation: To lock the drive levers in neutral,
squeeze the drive levers back to the neutral position.

(

Do Not squeeze the drive levers all the way back as this will cause the drive

wheels to go into full reverse direction

) Place thumbs on the upper portion of

the neutral lock latches and move them to the rear. Release drive levers (See
Figure 7).
