so do not run the engine in a confined area without ade-
quate ventilation.
12. Sit on seat when operating the machine. Never
carry passengers.
13. When starting the engine:
A. Make sure traction pedal is released.
B. After the engine is started, keep foot off traction
pedal. Machine must not move. If movement is evi-
dent, the neutral return mechanism is adjusted in-
correctly; therefore, shut engine off and readjust
mechanism so machine does not move when in
neutral position. If engine does not start, check in-
terlock switch connections.
14. Using the machine demands attention. To prevent
tipping or loss of control:
A. Use care when entering and leaving sand traps.
Use extreme caution around ditches, creeks or oth-
er hazards.
B. Watch for holes or other hidden hazards.
C. Use caution when operating machine on a steep
slope. Reduce speed when making sharp turns or
when turning on hillsides.
D. Avoid sudden stops and starts. Do not go from
reverse to full forward without first coming to a com-
plete stop.
E. Before backing up, look to the rear and assure
no one is behind the machine.

Always yield the right of way.

(Model No. 08833) is installed on machine, vertical load
on hitch should not exceed 200 lbs.
16. Do not touch engine, muffler or exhaust pipe while
engine is running or soon after it has stopped because
these areas are hot enough to cause burns.
17. If the machine ever vibrates abnormally, stop im-
mediately, turn engine off, wait for all motion to stop and
inspect for damage. Repair all damage before com-
mencing operation.
18. Before getting off the seat:
A. Stop movement of the machine.
B. Set parking brake and lower attachments to the
ground. Take precautions to prevent accidental
starts, rolling away, etc.

gine is stopped, parking brake is set, attachments are
