2.3  STARTING & OPERATION 

1.  Take a comfortable position in seat of machine, 
look around to make sure that the area you are going to 
mow is clear of people, children and pets. Take note of 
any stationary obstacles! 

NOTE:  The interlock system will prevent the engine from 
starting if the blade engagement lever is in the "ON" (up) 
position or if the clutch/brake pedal is not fully depressed. If 
the interlock system ever fails to work, DO NOT OPERATE 
the tractor until the interlock has been repaired. 

2.  Push blade engagement lever down to the "OFF" 
position. See Figure 2.4.

3.  Depress the clutch/brake pedal fully. See Figure 2.5.  
4.  Move Speed Control Lever to neutral. 

 
NOTE:  The seat interlock will shut off the engine if the 
operator gets off the seat without setting the parking 
brake or if the blade is running. If the interlock ever fails 
to work, DO NOT OPERATE the tractor until the 
interlock has been repaired.

5.  Choke engine for cold starting by moving engine 
speed control to "CHOKE" position. Little or no 
choking will be needed when restarting a warm 
engine. Insert key in switch. Turn key to "START" 
position to crank engine and hold until engine starts, 
then release key. See Figure 2.6. 

 
NOTE:  DO NOT crank engine for more than five 
seconds at a time. This will help prevent the starter from 
overheating and/or running down the battery. If cranking 
time is more than five seconds, locate and correct cause 
of starting problem. 
 

6.  After engine starts, release key, move the 
engine speed control to "FAST" position and allow 
engine to warm up before proceeding. See Figure 
2.6.
