7. Turn the ignition key clockwise
to the START position and release
it as soon as the engine starts;
however, do not crank the engine
continuously for more than 10
seconds at a time. If the engine
does not start within this time, turn
the key to OFF and wait at least
30 seconds to allow the engine's
starter motor to cool. Try again after
waiting. If after a few attempts the
engine fails to start, do not keep
trying to start it with the choke
closed as this will cause flooding
and make starting more difficult.
8. Once the engine starts, push the
choke (if equipped) halfway down
and as the engine warms, push
the choke (if equipped) all the
way down.
Electronic Throttle (E-Governor)/EFI
(Electronic Fuel Injection) Engines
1. Open the fuel valve(s).
NOTE: To prime a dry fuel system,
turn the ignition switch to the ON
position for one minute. Allow the
fuel pump to cycle and prime the
system. Turn the ignition switch to
the OFF position.
NOTE: If both tanks are on, and one
is empty, the engine will not start.
Be certain to make sure both tanks
have fuel or that the empty tank's
fuel valve is closed.
2. Operator must be sitting in the
mower seat with both drive control
pedals in the neutral/start position.
3. Engage the parking brake.
4. Make certain the PTO is in the
disengaged (down) position.
5. Place the electronic throttle lever in
the START position.
6. Turn the ignition key clockwise
to the START position and release
it as soon as the engine starts;
however, do not crank the engine
continuously for more than 10
seconds at a time. If the engine
does not start within this time, turn
the key to OFF and wait at least
60 seconds to allow the engine's
starter motor to cool. Try again
after waiting.
NOTE: Failure to follow these
guidelines can burn out the
starter motor.
NOTE: Upon start-up, a metallic
ticking may occur. Run engine for 5
minutes. If the noise continues, run
the engine at the starting position
for 20 minutes. If the noise persists,
take the mower to your authorized
service dealer.
Cold Weather Starting
When starting the engine at
temperatures near or below freezing,
ensure the correct viscosity motor oil
is used in the engine and the battery is
fully charged. Start the engine as follows:
1. Be sure the battery is in good
condition. A warm battery has
much more starting capacity than a
cold battery.
2. Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter
grade gasoline has higher volatility
to improve starting. Do not use
gasoline left over from summer.
3. Follow the previous instruction for
Starting the Engine.
Using Jumper Cables to Start Engine
WARNING
Batteries contain sulfuric acid and produce
explosive gases. Make certain the area is well
ventilated, wear gloves and eye protection, and
avoid sparks or flames near the battery.
If the battery charge is not sufficient to
crank the engine, recharge the battery.
If a battery charger is unavailable and
the mower must be started, the aid of
a booster battery will be necessary.
Connect the booster battery as follows:
1. Connect the end of one cable to the
disabled mower battery's positive
terminal; then connect the other
end of that cable to the booster
battery's positive terminal.
2. Connect one end of the other cable
to the booster battery's negative
terminal; then connect the other
end of that cable to the frame of
the disabled mower, as far from the
battery as possible.
3. Start the disabled mower following
the normal starting instructions
previously provided; then
disconnect the jumper cables
in the exact reverse order of
their connection.
4. Have the mower's electrical system
checked and repaired as soon as
possible to eliminate the need for
jump starting.
Stopping the Engine
1. Place the PTO switch in the
disengaged position.
2. Engage the parking brake.
3. Move the throttle to the SLOW
position and allow the engine to
idle for about one minute.
4. Turn the ignition key to the OFF
position and remove the key from
the ignition switch.
NOTE: Always remove the key
from the ignition switch to prevent
accidental starting or battery
discharge if the equipment is
left unattended.
5. Close the fuel shut-off valve(s).
Driving the Mower
1. Ensure that the area is free
of animals and bystanders,
especially children.
2. Survey the area where the
equipment is to be used to make
sure it is free of debris, sticks,
stones, wires, bones and other
foreign objects which could cause
injury to bystanders, damage
to the machine or damage to
nearby facilities.
WARNING
Avoid sudden starts, excessive speed, and
sudden stops.
3. Adjust the operator's seat to the
most comfortable position that
allows you to operate the controls.
Refer to the Assembly & Set-Up
section for instructions on adjusting
the seat.
4. Adjust the steering wheel
tilt with the steering column
adjustment lever.
5. Release the parking brake.
6. Move the throttle control lever (if
equipped) forward to the FAST
position.
NOTE: The mower's engine is
designed to run at full throttle, but
when performing a practice session
the mower must be operated at less
than full throttle. This only applies
to practice.
WARNING
Always maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel.
