2. Set parking brake.
3. Push choke control lever fully foward.
4. Push throttle control lever to 1/2 setting.
5. Insert ignition key and turn to “start” position. When engine
starts, release ignition key. Key will return to “run” position.
6. Once engine starts to warm up, slowly move choke control lever to
the fully closed position.
7. Move throttle control lever to the wide open or maximum setting
for actual operation of the mower deck.
8. Engine must be operated at wide open or maximum setting to
insure adequate lubrication, cooling and cut quality of the mower
deck.
Note: 6000 Series mowers will require a slightly longer warm-up period
using partial choke settings.
CAUTION Do not operate the engine in an enclosed area
due to the harmful exhaust gas produced.
