STARTING AND SHUT OFF

To start the engine:

1. Sit properly in the seat, make sure the steering

controls are in the park position and the PTO is off.

2. If the engine is cold, move the choke to the On

position. If the engine is warm, do not use choke.

3. Move the throttle to the 3/4 fast position. See Engine

manual for detailed instructions.

4. Put the key in the ignition switch and turn it to the Start

position. As soon as the engine starts, release the key.

5. Move the choke control to the Off position. Adjust the

choke to keep the engine running smoothly.

6. Allow the engine to warm for about five minutes before

operating the unit.

NOTE: Warming time will vary depending on the ambient

temperature. For temperatures below 32° F (0° C), allow ten

or more minutes for the unit to warm.

7. Use the throttle to increase or decrease engine speed.

Set the throttle to the fast position to cut grass.

To stop the engine:

1. Bring the steering levers to the neutral position and

disengage the PTO.

2. Move the throttle to the Slow position.

3. Turn the ignition key to the Off position.

Cold Weather Starting

NOTE: When starting in cold weather (below -5° C (23° F)),

do not run the starter more than 10 seconds at a time. If the

engine does not start after 10 seconds allow the starter to

rest 30 seconds before trying again.

Stopping The Engine

Move the control levers to the park position, idle the engine

a few moments and turn the ignition switch to the "Off"

position. Remove the key.

MOWING

Operate the unit only when seated in the operator’s position.

smoothly.

2. Bring the steering control levers to the neutral position.

3. Set the throttle to the 3/4 fast position.

4. Turn on the PTO to engage the mower.

IMPORTANT: Never engage the PTO when the mower is

plugged with grass or other material. This may damage the

clutch.

5. Move the throttle to the fast position.

6. Move the steering levers forward to obtain a slow

ground speed.

7. To disengage the mower, move the PTO switch to the

OFF position.

8. When you know how to operate the unit, select a

speed appropriate to your mowing conditions.

Anti-Scalp Wheels

1. Raise the mower by pushing down on the deck lift lever

and lock into transport position.

2. Place the steering control levers in the park position.

3. Set the anti-scalp adjustment to desired height of cut.

4. To adjust the anti-scalp rollers, remove the 1/2-13 x 5"

bolts and reinstall the bolts in the appropriate hole for

the desired height of cut (see figure 10).

5. Depress the deck lift lever and pull back on the deck

transport lock lever and lower the deck into the cut

position.

NOTE: The anti-scalp wheels should always be at least

1/4–1/2” (6mm - 13mm) off the ground. They are designed to

keep the deck from scalping the ground in uneven terrain,

they are not to contact the ground all of the time.

CAUTION: Read entire Owner/Operator

Manual and Engine Manual first. DO NOT

attempt to start the engine at this time.

CAUTION: Always start and operate the

engine in a well-ventilated area. If in an

enclosed area, vent the exhaust outside.

CAUTION: ALWAYS remove the ignition key

when the unit is not in use.

WARNING: To avoid damage to the mower,

re-torque all fastening hardware, including

blade and spindle pulley retaining nuts, after

the first hour of mowing operation.
