Idling the Engine
IMPORTANT: Unnecessary engine idling may cause engine or

or towing could result in transmission overheating. Always
operate at full throttle once the engine is warm.
Do not operate machine with hood open. Hood must be
closed for proper engine cooling and exhaust.

Keep air intake screen on top of engine clean.
