deadly, so do not run the engine in a confined area
without adequate ventilation.
Sit on seat when operating the machine. Never
carry passengers.
When starting the engine:
Make sure traction pedal is released.
After the engine is started, keep foot off
traction pedal. Machine must not move. If
movement is evident, the neutral return
mechanism is adjusted incorrectly; therefore, shut
engine off and readjust so machine does not move
when in neutral position. If engine does not start,
check interlock switch connections.

reverse to full forward without first coming to a
complete stop.

no one is behind the machine.
Watch out for traffic when near or crossing
roads. Always yield the right of way.
