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.
4. Gradually move the choke lever to the Off position
(Figure 20). If the engine stalls or hesitates, engage the
choke again until the engine warms up.
5. Move the throttle lever to the desired setting (Figure
20).
Important: If the engine is run at high speeds
when the hydraulic system is cold (i.e., when the
ambient air temperature is near freezing or lower),
hydraulic system damage could occur. When
starting the engine in cold conditions, allow the
engine to run in the middle throttle position for
2 to 5 minutes before moving the throttle to fast
(rabbit).
Note: If the outdoor temperature is below freezing,
store the machine in a garage to keep it warmer and
aid in starting.
Stopping the Engine
1. Stop the grinder and lower it to the ground.
2. Move the throttle lever to the Slow position (Figure 20).
3. Turn the key off (Figure 20).
Note: If the engine has been working hard or is hot,
let it idle for a minute before turning the ignition key
off. This helps cool the engine before it is stopped. In
an emergency, the engine may be stopped immediately.
4. Remove the key.

Stopping the Machine

To stop the machine, release the traction control, move the
throttle lever to slow (turtle), lower the grinder to the ground,
stop the engine, and remove the key.
CAUTION
A child or untrained bystander could attempt to
operate the machine and be injured.
Remove the key from the switch when leaving the
machine, even if just for a few seconds.
