1. Move hand throttle (A) forward, to take it out of idle position (approx. 1/3 max. speed). Engine may not start if throttle is all the way back.

   CAUTION: Avoid possible injuries or even death as a result of unexpected machine movement.

   Start engine from operator's seat only and with gearshift lever in position (P).

   NEVER start engine from anywhere other than the operator's seat.

   IMPORTANT: DO NOT run cold engine at maximum speed.

2. Turn key switch fully clockwise to activate starter motor. Release key when engine starts. If releasing key before engine operates, wait until starter motor and engine stop turning before trying again.

IMPORTANT: Do not engage starter motor for more than 20 seconds per attempt. If engine does not start, wait at least 2 minutes to allow starter motor cool down before trying again. If engine does not run after four attempts, consult "Troubleshooting" section.
