Stopping the Engine
Allow the engine to idle a minute in order to attain
normal operating temperature before stopping it, if
it has been worked hard. Avoid idling the engine for
longer periods, as there is a risk of the spark plugs
fouling.

the blade switch.
2. Raise the mower deck by depressing the
pedal forward to the transport position.
3 . When the machine is standing still, activate
the parking brake by pulling the lever
upward.
4. Move the throttle to the minimum position
(tortoise symbol). Turn the ignition key to the
stop position.
5. Move the steering controls outward.
6. Remove the key when leaving the mower to
prevent unauthorized use.
