    To avoid the possibility of personal injury or death, start engine ONLY from operator seat. Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals. Machine starts in gear if bypassed.

If problem cannot be resolved, see your John Deere dealer.

    Release key after engine starts and let engine run at low idle for five minutes to warm oil.
