5. When engine starts, move choke
lever (G) down halfway (to half
choke). Gradually, move choke lever
down (to choke off) as the engine
warms up.
NOTE: DO NOT RUN ENGINE WITH
CHOKE ON FOR PROLONGED PERIODS.

FUEL MIXTURE) IF OVER-CHOKED.
6. Move throttle (J) up to (fast).
Run the engine at full throttle (fast)
for maximum engine efficiency.
Do not drive the tractor immediately

procedure as instructed on page 17.
Throttle Setting
ALWAYS OPERATE WITH THE ENGINE AT
FULL THROTTLE (FAST). While operating
under heavy load conditions, listen to the
engine RPM. If the engine begins to slow
down, do not advance the travel pedal. Let
up on the travel pedal. This will decrease
the ground speed and increase the engine
speed.

allow engine to cool.
4. Turn ignition/starter switch (H) to off.
Remove ignition key.

False Start: If engine speeds up enough
to disengage starter but fails to continue
running, allow all moving parts to stop
completely before engaging starter again.
Limit cranking to less than 10 seconds. If
engine has been cranked for 10 seconds,
allow the starter to cool for at least one
minute before re-cranking. Over heating
may damage starter.
IN CASE OF A FALSE START, ALLOW
ENGINE TO STOP COMPLETELY BEFORE
RE-STARTING. FAILURE TO COMPLY
MAY DAMAGE STARTER.
