OPERATION
TO START ENGINE (See Fig. 3)
When starting the engine for the first time or if
the engine has run out of fuel, it will take extra
cranking time to move fuel from the tank to the
engine.
•
Be sure IZT (Integrated Zeroturn
Transaxle) bypass linkages are in the
drive position.
•
Sit on the seat in the operators position,
release park brake lever.
•
Check to be sure the PTO switch is
disengaged.
•
Pull choke cable knob up.
•
For a warm engine start, the choke
control may not be needed
CAUTION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which leads
to separation and formation of acids dur-
ing storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To
avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage of 30
days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start
the engine and let it the run until the fuel
lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh
fuel the next season. See Storage Instruc-
tions for additional information. Never use
engine or carburetor cleaners in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
WARNING
Fill to bottom of filler neck. Do not over
fill. Wipe off any spilled oil or fuel. Do
not store, spill or use gasoline near an
open flame.
ADD GASOLINE
•
Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87
octane. (Use of leaded gasoline will
increase carbon and lead oxide deposits
and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil
with gasoline. Purchase fuel in
quantities that can be used within 30
days to ensure fuel freshness.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN OPERATING IN
TEMPERATURES BELOW 32° F. (0° C.), USE
FRESH, CLEAN WINTER GRADE GASOLINE
