Operator Controls
Please take some time to become familiar with the operator controls, and their function and
location.
Your machine is equipped with Operator Presence Safety Devices. The machine will start only with
the handbrake actuated and the gear shift in the neutral start position. Please note that there are two
neutral positions, but only one will allow starting. The starter will crank, but the engine will not start.
After the operator shifts into forward or reverse the operator must be seated for the engine to operate.
Engine choke: The choke control is located next to the engine start switch. (Figure 7) Pulling the
knob forward activates the choke for starting. Pushing the knob fully to the rear de-activates
the choke for normal operation. If necessary, you can access the choke on the engine from the
side by reaching under the frame as shown. (Figure 8.) Move the lever to the right before starting
and then back to the run position once the engine has started.
