Parking Brake, page 11.
Note: The engine will not start unless you set
the parking brake or fully depress the
clutch/brake pedal.

(Fig. 6).
4. Move the blade control (PTO) to
“DISENGAGED” (Fig. 7).

Note: An engine that has been running and is
warm may not require step 5.
6. Turn the ignition key clockwise and hold it in
the “START” position (Fig. 9). When the engine
starts, release the key.
IMPORTANT: If the engine does not start
after 30 seconds of continuous cranking, turn
the ignition key to “OFF” and let the starter
motor cool; refer to Troubleshooting, page 43.

lever to “FAST” (Fig. 8). If the engine stalls or
hesitates, move the throttle lever back to
“CHOKE” for a few seconds. Then move the
throttle lever to “FAST.” Repeat this as required.
