Never stop the engine by moving the throttle control lever to the choke
position. This could cause an engine backfire resulting in engine damage.
Before Starting the Engine
1. Check the oil level every time you use the machine. See your Engine Owner’s
Manual.
2. Check the gasoline level.
3. Open the Fuel Shut-Off Valve on the left hand side of the Mower (Figure 13).
4. Make sure the Blade Control Safety Cover is pushed down to the disengaged
position (Figure 14).
Note: The Blade Switch Safety Cover must be pushed down or the Engine will not
start.
Starting
1. Ensure the Blade Switch Safety Cover is down (Figure 14).
2. When starting a cold Engine, push the Throttle Control Lever up to the
Choke
position (Figure 15). When starting an already warm Engine,
push the Throttle Control Lever to the Run
position.
3. Turn the Key Switch to the Start
position until the Engine starts, then
release. The Key will snap back to the center On
position and the
Engine will continue to run.
4. As the Engine warms up, slowly adjust the Throttle to the Run
position.
Wait until the Engine runs smoothly before each Throttle adjustment. For
maximum performance, operate the Engine with the Throttle in the Run
position.
Stopping the Engine

(Figure 14).
2. Move the Throttle Control Lever all the way down to the Idle
