OPERATION
STARTING ENGINE
Before operating this machine, become familiar with all controls and functions
of these units. Also complete all maintenance requirements and read all safety
warnings. By knowing the machine thoroughly, how it operates and by doing the
prescribed maintenance steps, you can expect relatively trouble-free operation for
years to come.
1. Make sure the fuel flow valve, located on the fuel tank, is “ON.”
2. Set park brake. Start safety switch is on the park brake.
3. The ignition switch is a three position on gas and four position on diesel.
For
Gas engines: Insert key (A) and turn clockwise until engine starts (C). Re-
lease key and it will return to run position (B). Use choke and hand throttle
as necessary. For Diesel Engines: Insert key (A) and turn clockwise to (B).
When glow light goes out, turn key clockwise until engine starts (C). Release
key and it will return to run position (B).
4. Allow engine to idle and warm up a few minutes before selecting a direction
of travel.
5. To shut off engine on all gas machines turn key to the stop position.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
When attempting to start the engine in cold weather, the oil in the hydrostatic pump
may provide too much resistance to start a cold machine.
Before attempting to start the engine in cold weather, disengage the drive belt to
the hydrostatic by pushing down the idler lever until it catches in the notch on the
latching lever. Start engine and allow it to warm up with no load. When the engine is
warm, shut off engine. Push down on the latching lever until the idler is released.
Engine must be stopped when the drive belt is engaged. If the engine is running when the belt is engaged,
the vehicle may move suddenly, injuring you and/or bystanders.
Always stop the engine before reengaging the drive belt. The sudden application of power to the hydrostatic
may cause serious damage the pump, the engine or both.
