Starting the Engine (continued)
IMPORTANT
Do not run the starter motor more than 15 seconds at a time, or premature starter
failure may result. If the engine fails to start after 15 seconds, turn the key to the O
FF
position, check the controls and procedures, wait 15 additional seconds, and repeat
the starting procedure.
When the temperature is less than -7°C (20°F), the starter motor can be run for 30
seconds on then 60 seconds off for 2 attempts.
5. When the engine starts, release the key.
6. Adjust the engine speed.
Shutting Off the Engine
1. Park the machine on a level surface.
2. Press the PTO switch to the D
ISENGAGE position.
3. Move the engine-throttle control to the S
LOW position.
4. Engage the parking brake.
5. Lower the cutting units.
IMPORTANT
Lowering the cutting units relieves the hydraulic load from the system, prevents wear
on system parts, and prevents accidental lowering of the cutting units.
6. Rotate the key to O
FF and remove the key.
7. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
Locking the Cutting-Unit Pivot
Cutting Grass on a Hill Side
