6. Turn the ignition key to Start to energize the starter.
When the engine starts, release the key (Fig. 14).
Important
Do not engage the starter for more than
10 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start, allow a
30 second cool down period between attempts. Failure to
follow these instructions can burn out the starter motor.
7. After the engine starts, move the choke to Off (Fig. 12).
If the engine stalls or hesitates, move the choke back to
On for a few seconds. Then move the throttle lever to
the desired setting. Repeat this step as necessary.
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.
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
