Important Do not engage the starter for more than
10 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start allow a
30 second cool-down period between attempts. Failure to
follow these instructions can burn out the starter motor.
7. After the engine starts, move the choke to Off (Fig. 11).
If the engine stalls or hesitates, move the choke back to
On for a few seconds. Then move the throttle lever to
the desired setting. Repeat this as required.

Stopping the Engine
1. Push the PTO to off (Fig. 12).
2. Move the throttle lever midway between the slow and
fast positions (Fig. 12).
3. Let the engine idle for 60 seconds (Fig. 13).

5. Pull wire off spark plug(s) to prevent possibility of
someone accidentally starting the machine before
transporting or storing machine.
6. Close fuel shut off valve, on front panel before
transporting or storing machine.
Important Make sure that the fuel shut off valve is
closed before transporting or storing the machine, as fuel
leakage may occur. Set the parking brake before
transporting. Make sure to remove the key as the fuel pump
may run and cause the battery to lose charge.
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the tractor while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even if just for a few minutes.
