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 tire 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 ENGINE” chapter 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. SA-032 S-9
