If the operator seat is not occupied, the blades engaged, either steering control arm is not
locked into neutral position, or the parking brake is not in the SET position, you cannot
start the engine.
Turn the key switch clockwise to the START position, and release when the engine starts.
NOTE: Cranking engine for more than 10 seconds may cause starter motor failure
or damage! If the engine does not start in 10 seconds, allow a 60 second cool down
period between starts.
1.
If the engine does not start within 10 seconds, discontinue cranking by releasing the key.
Wait 60 seconds. Repeat steps 1 through 3. If, after several attempts, the engine will still
not start, discontinue the starting process until the cause of malfunction is determined.
2.
When the engine starts, release the key (which will return to the running position), adjust
the throttle lever (located to the lower right of the operator seat) forward (downward) until
the engine is running at a steady idle. Do not overpower the engine.

Stopping The Engine
Stop the engine by throttling down to a slow idle, then turning the ignition key switch to the
OFF position. Wait for all motion to stop. Be sure all auxiliary switches are in the OFF
position. Set the parking brake before dismounting your Lastec Mower.
