SAFETY OPERATE ONLY FROM OPERATOR'S SEAT Inappropriate engine starting procedures may cause the machine to runaway, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. • Start the engine only when seated in the operator's seat. • NEVER start the engine while standing on the track or on ground. • Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals. • Before starting the engine, confirm that all control levers are in neutral. • Before starting the engine, confirm the safety around the machine and sound the horn to alert bystanders.

• If the engine must be jump started, be sure to follow the instructions shown in the “OPERATING THE ENGINE” chap- ter in the operator’s manual. • The operator must be in the operator’s seat so that the machine will be under control when the engine starts. Jump starting is a two-person operation. • Never use a frozen battery. • Failure to follow correct jump starting procedures could result in a battery explosion or a runaway machine.
