Starting the Engine - Briggs & Stratton
Fuel Injected Models
WARNING
Read the operator's manual before attempting to
operate this unit.
• If you do not understand how a specific control
functions, or have not yet thoroughly read the Features
and Controls section, do so now.
• Do NOT attempt to operate the unit without first
becoming familiar with the location and function of all
controls.
Note: To prime a dry fuel system, turn key switch to ON
position for one minute. Allow fuel pump to cycle and prime
system. Turn key switch OFF.
1. While standing on the operator's platform, engage
the parking brake, make sure that the PTO switch is
disengaged, and that the ground speed control levers are
in the NEUTRAL position.
2. Position the throttle control midway between SLOW and
FAST positions.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the
START position. Release the switch as soon as the
engine starts. If the starter does not turn the engine
over, shut off the key switch immediately, and consult
the engine operator's manual. Warm up the engine by
running it for at least a minute before engaging the PTO
switch or driving the unit.
4. After warming the engine always operate the unit at FULL
throttle when mowing.
In the event of an emergency the engine can be stopped
by simply turning the ignition switch to STOP. Use this
method only in emergency situations. For normal engine shut
down follow the procedure given in Stopping the Unit.

Stopping the Unit

1. Stop the rider movement by returning the ground speed
control levers to their NEUTRAL positions. The ground
speed control levers are spring-loaded and when
released they will automatically return to NEUTRAL.
2. Disengage the PTO by pushing down on the PTO switch.
3. Engage the parking brake by pulling the handle up and
back until it locks into position.
4. Move the throttle control to the mid-throttle position and
turn the ignition key to OFF. Remove the key.

Driving the Zero-Turn Riding Mower

Before attempting to drive the zero-turn riding mower make
sure you have read the Features and Controls section and
understand the location and function of all of the unit's
controls.
Keep both feet on the operator platform at all times.

The ground speed control levers of this zero-turn riding
mower are responsive, and learning to gain a smooth and
efficient control of the unit's forward, reverse, and turning
movements will take some practice.
Spending some time going through the maneuvers shown
and becoming familiar with how the unit accelerates, travels,
and steers, before you begin mowing, is absolutely
essential to getting the most out of the zero-turn riding
mower.
Locate a smooth, flat area of your lawn, one with plenty of
room to maneuver. Clear the area of objects, people, and
animals before you begin. Operate the unit at mid-throttle
during this practice session (ALWAYS operate at full throttle
when mowing), and turn slowly to prevent tire slippage and
damage to your lawn.
We suggest you begin with the Smooth Travel procedure,
and then advance through the forward, reverse, and turning
maneuvers.
Prior to moving the ground speed control levers, the operator
must be standing on the operator platform and the parking
brake must be disengaged.
Adjusting the Maximum Forward Speed Bar
This zero-turn riding mower is equipped with an adjustable
maximum forward speed bar (A, Figure 8), which is located
in front of the ground speed control levers (B & C). The
maximum forward speed bar can be adjusted in three
different positions to suit the desired maximum forward speed
of the operator. The positioning hole closest to the ground
speed control levers (labeled as #1 in Figure 8) is the lowest
setting and the positioning hole furthest from the ground
speed control levers (labeled as #3) is the fastest.
8
For operator's learning to drive the machine it is
recommended that the slowest speed setting (position # 1) be
used until the operator is comfortable driving the machine.
