EMERGENCY STOPPING
In the event of an emergency the engine can be stopped
by simply turning the ignition switch to STOP. Use this
method only in emergency situations. For normal engine
shut down follow the procedure given in STOPPING THE
RIDER AND ENGINE.
STOPPING THE RIDER & ENGINE
1. Returning the ground speed control levers to PARK
positions will stop rider movement.
2. Stop the mower by pushing down on the PTO switch.
3. Move the parking brake lever to PARK position.
4. Move the throttle control to FAST position and turn
the ignition key to OFF. Remove the key.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. While sitting in the operator’s seat, set the parking
brake to PARK. Make sure the PTO switch is OFF
and the ground speed control levers are locked in
PARK positions.
2. Move the engine throttle control fully forward to
CHOKE.
NOTE: A warm engine may not require choking. In this
case, set the throttle control to FAST.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to
START.
4. After the engine starts, gradually move the throttle
control back to FAST position (choke open). Warm
the engine by running it for at least a minute before
turning on the PTO switch, or driving the unit.
5. After warming the engine, ALWAYS operate the
unit with the throttle set to FAST position when
mowing.
MOWING
1. Place the parking brake lever in PARK position. Make
sure the PTO switch is OFF, the ground speed control
levers are locked in their PARK positions, and the
operator is in the seat.
2. Set the mower cutting height to the desired setting.
3. Start the engine (see STARTING THE ENGINE).
4. Set the throttle to FAST.
5. Turn the PTO switch ON to engage the mower deck.
6. Move the parking brake lever to DRIVE position.
7. Move the ground speed control levers from PARK
positions to drive positions (levers in across the oper-
ator’s lap).
