Care should be taken
to
avoid inhaling exhaust gases

not run the engine in confined areas such
as
a closed garage.

Sit on the seat;
3.
Depress the clutch/brake pedal and move the cutter head engaging lever
to
the disengage position (vertical);
4. Move the throttle lever
to
the choke position (this may not be necessary
if
the engine is warm from running);
5.
Tum the ignition key
to
the start position and release when the engine
starts;
6.
Move the throttle from the choke position.
If
the engine fails to start after
10
seconds
of
continuous cranking, tum the
key
to
the
off
position and allow the motor to cool. Check for the cause
of
non-starting.
Stopping the engine
1.
Apply the parking brake;
2.
Move the throttle lever
to
the slow position;
3.
Tum
the ignition key to the
off
position and remove the key;
4.
Tum the fuel off.
Note:
In
the case
of
an emergency, the engine
may
be stopped by turning
the ignition off.
