Starting and Stopping the
Engine
Important The fuel system may have to be bled if any
of the following situations have occurred:
• Initial start up of a new engine.
• Engine has ceased running due to lack of fuel.
• Maintenance has been performed upon fuel system
components; i.e. filter replaced, etc.
Refer to Bleeding the Fuel System.
1. Be sure that the parking brake is set and the reel drive
switch is in the DISENGAGE position.
2. Remove your foot from the traction pedal and make
sure that the pedal is in the neutral position.
3. Move the throttle lever to the full throttle position.
4. Insert the key into the switch and rotate it clockwise to
ON position. Hold it until glow plug light goes out, then
rotate the key clockwise to START position to engage
the starter motor. Release the key when the engine
starts. The key will move automatically to the ON/RUN
position.
Important To prevent overheating of the starter motor,
do not engage the starter longer than 10 seconds. After 10
seconds of continuous cranking, wait 60 seconds before
engaging the starter motor again.
5. When the engine is started for the first time, or after
overhauling the engine, operate the machine in forward
and reverse for one to two minutes. Also operate the lift
lever and reel drive switch to be sure of proper
operation of all parts.
Turn the steering wheel to the left and right to check the
steering response. Then shut the engine off and check
for oil leaks, loose parts, and any other noticeable
malfunctions.
Shut the engine off and wait for all moving parts to
stop before checking for oil leaks, loose parts, and
other malfunctions.
Caution
6. To stop the engine, move the throttle control downward
to the IDLE position, move the reel drive switch to
DISENGAGE, and rotate the ignition key to OFF.
