Preparations for starting the engine
Accident hazard due to uncontrollable machine operation!
Uncontrollable operation can cause serious injuries or death.
► Only operate the machine from the seat with the seat belt fastened.
Set the throttle to the medium position if the engine is cold.
The starter cannot be actuated if the engine is already running (start
repeat interlock).
Do not run the starter for more than 10 seconds.
Wait about 1 minute so the battery can recover and the starter does not
overheat before trying again.
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation before operating the machine in
enclosed areas.
All controls must be within easy reach. You must be able to move the
travel levers to their limit positions.
