LIGHTS
(Figures 25 & 26)
Head and taillights improve safety and operational
visibility. Their use is highly recommended
especially at dawn or dusk and at night. The
headlight can be adjusted to the operator’s preference
by loosening, the mounting bolt directly under the
light fixture. The fixture can be moved so that the
light beam moves up or down, right or left. Once in
the desired position, retighten the mounting bolt.
STARTING PROCEDURE
1. Check engine oil, water, and fuel levels.
2. Read and understand operational and safety
instructions.
3. Make sure the right side, three (3) position control
selector is in start position (DOWN).
4. Move throttle forward about 1/4 stroke. (Engines
vary)
5. For gasoline models, pull the choke out. For diesel
models, turn the key counter-clockwise and hold
until the glow light goes off.
6. Turn the key clockwise until the engine starts. If
the engine fails to start in 15 seconds, stop. Check if
there is fuel in the tank. Make several more attempts
to start. If the engine does not start, contact a
mechanic or the dealer.
7. Once the engine is started, let it warm up. Always
check to see if the steering system is responsive
before attempting to drive. In cold weather
conditions, extend the warm-up period.
8. For the PTO to operate, the operator has to be
sitting on the seat.
