READ OPERATOR'S MANUAL
Safety Interlock Switches
This tractor is equipped with a safety interlock system for the 
protection of the operator. If the interlock system should ever 
malfunction, do not operate the tractor. Contact an authorized 
service dealer.
• 
The safety interlock system prevents the engine from 
cranking or starting unless the parking brake is engaged, 
and the PTO (Blade Engage) knob is in the disengaged 
(OFF) position.
• 
The engine will automatically shut off if the operator leaves 
the seat before engaging the parking brake.
• 
The electric PTO (Blade Engage) clutch will automatically 
shut off if the operator leaves the tractor’s seat with the 
PTO (Blade Engage) knob in the engaged (ON) position, 
regardless of whether the parking brake is engaged.
• 
With the ignition key in the NORMAL MOWING position, 
the electric PTO (Blade Engage) clutch will automatically 
shut off if the PTO (Blade Engage) knob is moved into the 
engaged (ON) position with the drive pedal in position for 
reverse travel.
WARNING! 
Do not operate the tractor if the 
interlock system is malfunctioning. This system was 
designed for your safety and protection. 
 
Starting the Engine
NOTE: Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up section of this manual for 
Gasoline and Oil fill-up instructions.
1. 
Insert the tractor key into the ignition switch module.
2. 
Place the PTO (Blade Engage) knob in the disengaged (OFF) 
position.
3. 
Engage the tractor’s parking brake.
4. 
Activate the choke control by moving the throttle/choke 
control all the way forward into the choke position.
 NOTE: If the engine is warmed up, it may not be necessary 
to place the choke control in the choke position.
5. 
Turn the ignition key clockwise to the START position. 
After the engine starts, release the key. It will return to the 
NORMAL MOWING position.
CAUTION: 
Do NOT hold the key in the START 
position for longer than ten seconds at a time. Doing 
so may cause damage to your engine’s electric 
starter.
6. 
As the engine warms up, gradually push the choke 
control lever downward into the Run position. Do not use 
the choke position to enrich the fuel mixture, except as 
necessary to start the engine.
7. 
Allow the engine to run for a few minutes at mid throttle 
before putting the engine under load.
NOTE: Do NOT leave the choke on while operating the tractor. 
Doing so will result in a “rich” fuel mixture and cause the engine 
to run poorly.
Stopping the Engine
WARNING! 
If you strike a foreign object, stop the 
engine and disconnect the spark plug wire(s). 
Thoroughly inspect the machine for any damage. 
Repair the damage before restarting and operating
1. 
If the blades are engaged, place the PTO/Blade Engage 
knob in the disengaged (OFF) position.
2. 
Place the throttle control lever near the SLOW position
3. 
Turn the ignition key counterclockwise to the STOP 
position.
4. 
Remove the key from the ignition switch to prevent 
unintended starting.
