Starting and Stopping the
Engine
1. Remove your foot from the traction pedal, make sure
that the pedal is in the neutral position, and engage the
parking brake.
2. Push the choke lever forward to the On position (when
starting a cold engine) and the throttle lever to the Slow
position.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and rotate it
clockwise to start the engine. Release the key when the
engine starts. Regulate the choke to keep the engine
running smoothly.
Important To prevent overheating of the starter motor,
do not engage the starter longer than 10 seconds. After 10
seconds of continuous cranking, wait 60 seconds before
engaging the starter motor again.
4. When the engine is started for the first time, or after an
overhaul of the engine, operate the machine in forward
and reverse for 1 to 2 minutes. Also operate the lift
lever to be sure of proper operation of all parts.
5. To stop the engine, move the throttle control to the Slow
position and rotate the ignition key to Off. Remove the
key from the switch to prevent accidental starting.
6. Close the fuel shutoff valve before storing the machine.
Shut the engine off and wait for all moving parts to
stop before checking for oil leaks, loose parts, and
other malfunctions.
