Starting and Stopping
the Engine
Starting
1. Sit down on the seat.
2. Depress the brake pedal.
Note: The engine will not start unless you
fully depress the brake pedal.
3. Push the PTO (power take off) switch to OFF
(Fig. 11).
4. Move the choke lever to ON (if the engine is
cold) (Fig. 11).
5. Move the throttle lever halfway to FAST (Fig.
11).
6. Turn the ignition key clockwise and hold it in
the START position (Fig. 12). When the engine
starts, release the key.
IMPORTANT: Do not crank the engine
continuously for more than 10 seconds at a
time. If the engine does not start, allow a 60
second cool–down period between starting
attempts. Failure to follow these guidelines
can burn out the starter.
7. After the engine starts, move the choke lever to
OFF (Fig. 11). If the engine stalls or hesitates,
move the choke lever back to ON for a few
seconds. Then move the throttle lever to the
desired setting. Repeat this as required.
Note: Allowing the engine to warm up before
putting it under load will lengthen
engine life.
