CAUTION: Always start and operate the
engine in a well-ventilated area. If in an
enclosed area, vent the exhaust outside.
To start the engine:
1. Sit properly in the seat, make sure the steering

position. As soon as the engine starts, release the key.
5. Move the choke control to the Off position. Adjust the
choke to keep the engine running smoothly.
6. Allow the engine to warm for about five minutes before
operating the unit.
NOTE: Warming time will vary depending on the ambient
temperature. For temperatures below 32° F (0° C), allow ten
or more minutes for the unit to warm.
7. Use the throttle to increase or decrease engine speed.
Set the throttle to the fast position to cut grass.

a few moments and turn the ignition switch to the "Off"
position. Remove the key.

re-torque all fastening hardware, including
blade and spindle pulley retaining nuts, after
the first hour of mowing operation.
Operate the unit only when seated in the operator's position.

speed appropriate to your mowing conditions.
Anti-Scalp Wheels
1. Raise the mower by pushing down on the deck lift lever
and lock into transport position.
2. Place the steering control levers in the park position.
3. Set the anti-scalp adjustment to desired height of cut.

bolts and reinstall the bolts in the appropriate hole for
the desired height of cut (see figure 10).
5. Depress the deck lift lever and pull back on the deck
transport lock lever and lower the deck into the cut
position.
NOTE: The anti-scalp wheels should always be at least
1/4–1/2" (6mm - 13mm) off the ground. They are designed to
keep the deck from scalping the ground in uneven terrain,
they are not to contact the ground all of the time.
