below)
7. When engine starts, slowly push
choke control in until the engine
begins to run smoothly. Continue to
push the choke control in small steps
allowing the engine to accept small
changes in speed and load, until the
choke control is fully in. If the engine
starts to run roughly,pull the choke
controloutslightlyfor a few seconds
and then continueto push the control
in slowly. This may require an engine
warm-up periodfrom several seconds
to several minutes,depending on the
temperature.
• The attachments can he used during
the engine warm-up period and may
require the choke controlbe pulled out
slightly.

MOWING TIPS
• Mower should be properly leveled for
best mowing performance. See "TO
LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" inthe
Service and Adjustments section of this
manual.
• The left hand side of mower should be
used for trimming.
• Drive so that clippings are discharged
onto the area that has been cut. Have
the cut area to the right of the tractor.
This will result in a more even distribu-
tion of clippings and more uniform
cutting.
• When mowing large areas, start by
turningto the right so that clippings will
discharge away from shrubs, fences,
driveways, etc. After one or two rounds,
mow in the opposite direction making
le_thand turns untilfinished.
• If grass isextremely tall, it should be
mowed twice to reduce load and
possible fire hazard from dried clip-
pings. Make first cu_.relatively high;'the
second to the desired height.
• Do notmow grass when it iswet. Wet
grass will plug mower and leave
undesirable clumps. Allow grass to d_J
before mowing.
• Always operate engine at full throttle
when mowing toassure better mowing
performance and proper discharge of
material. Regulate groundspeed by
selecting a low enough gear to give the
mower the best cuttingperformance as
well as the quality ofcut desired.
• When operating attachments, select a
groundspeed that willsuit the terrain
and give bestperformance of the
attachment being used.
