Raise the mower deck to the highest position.

3
Disengage the mower blades by pressing the blade switch downwards.

4
Move the steering / park brake controls firmly out to the locked position.

5
Move the throttle lever to the full throttle position.

NOTE: There is a detent at the full throttle position to aid in setting the control.


If the temperature is below 32OF, move the throttle lever up to the cold weather (snowflake) starting position.

When the engine has started, move the throttle lever back to full throttle detent and let the engine to warm up for a short period before operating the unit. Failure to move the throttle from the cold weather starting position will result in unsatisfactory engine performance, smoke and spark plug fouling.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Do not operate the starter for more than five seconds each time. If the engine does not start, wait approximately ten seconds before retrying.

Set the engine speed with the throttle. Let the engine operate at a moderate speed, approximately mid throttle, for a short time before use. USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING.
