Once the engine has started, move the throttle control lever to the midway

4.1.7 “Off-Run” Switch: Located on the console. Turn key to the “Run” position to
allow the engine to be started. Turn key to the “Off” position to shut engine off.
4.1.8 Fuel Shut-Off Valve: Installed in the fuel line midway between the tank and
engine. The fuel shut-off valve is used to shut off the flow of fuel when parking
inside a building, during transportation to and from the job sites, and when the
machine will not be used for a few days.
Rotate valve 1/4 turn clockwise to shut fuel off.
Rotate valve 1/4 turn counter-clockwise to turn fuel on.
4.1.9 Drive Wheel Release Valves: Located on the top rear corner of the hydrostatic
pumps. Drive wheel release valves are used to release the hydro-static drive
system to allow the machine to be moved by hand without the engine running.
Turn valves one-half turn counterclockwise to release the drive system.
Turn clockwise to reset the drive system.
Do Not over-tighten.
4.1.10 Cold Start Kit: Located on the right hand side of engine deck, below and
slightly ahead of the hydro control shield. The cold start kit is used to ease the
starting of the unit in cold weather or when the unit has not been operated for a
period of time. The cold start kit moves the idler pulley away from the pump
belt, releasing the tension on the belt which allows the engine to turn over with
less resistance. See Section 4.3.2.
4.1.11 Tracking Adjustment Knob: Located on the right-hand side of the rear of the
fuel tank support. Can be adjusted so that machine will “track” straight ahead
with drive levers released.

DANGER
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ In certain conditions gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you, others,
and cause property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ DO NOT smoke while refueling, and stay away from an
open flame or where gasoline fumes may be ignited by
spark.
♦ Refuel only in a well ventilated area, or refuel outdoors.
♦ Store gasoline in an approved container and keep it out
of the reach of children.
♦ Add fuel before starting the engine. Never remove the
cap of the fuel tank or add fuel when engine is running
or when the engine is hot.
♦ Never fill the fuel tank so that the gasoline level rises
above a level that is 1/2” below the bottom of the filler
neck to allow for gasoline expansion and prevent fuel
spillage.
♦ If fuel is spilled, DO NOT attempt to start the engine.
Move away from the area of the spill and avoid creating
any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated.
