Stopping the Engine
1. Push the PTO to Off (Fig. 13).
2. Move the throttle lever midway between Slow and Fast
(Fig. 13).
3. Let the engine idle for 60 seconds (Fig. 14).
4. Turn the ignition key to Off (Fig. 14).
5. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug(s) to prevent
the possibility of someone accidentally starting the
machine before it is transported or stored.
6. Close the fuel shutoff valve before transporting or
storing the machine.
Important
Make sure that the fuel shutoff valve is
closed before transporting or storing the machine to prevent
fuel leakage. Set the parking brake before transporting the
machine. Make sure to remove the key, for the fuel pump
may run and cause the battery to lose its charge.
Caution
Children or bystanders may be injured if they
move or attempt to operate the machine while it is
unattended.
Always remove the ignition key and set the
parking brake when leaving the machine
unattended, even for a few minutes.
Operating the Power Takeoff
(PTO)
The power takeoff (PTO) switch engages and disengages
power to the electric clutch.
Engaging the PTO
1. While seated, release the pressure on the traction
control levers and shift the machine into neutral.
2. Shift the throttle to Fast.
3. Pull out the power takeoff (PTO) switch to engage the

The Safety Interlock System
Caution
If safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged, the machine could operate unexpectedly,
causing personal injury.
Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
Check the operation of the interlock switches
daily and replace any damaged switches before
operating the machine.
Understanding the Safety Interlock
System
The safety interlock system is designed to prevent the
engine from starting unless:
You are sitting on the seat.
The parking brake is engaged.
The power takeoff (PTO) is disengaged.
The motion control levers are in the neutral lock
position.
The safety interlock system is also designed to stop the
engine when you move the traction controls with the
parking brake is engaged or when you rise from the seat
while the PTO is engaged.
