to RUN.

NOTE: WideTrak models may also be warmed up with the
transmission in neutral and the brake engaged. This will
allow the engine to warm without engaging the drive system.

minutes. Engine RPM must be at idle before shifting the
transmission.

If the engine does not start on the first pull, slightly depress the throttle
with your left hand (no more than 1/4″ open), and pull the rope with
your right hand. When the engine starts, immediately release the
throttle.
CAUTION
Operating the electric starter or the recoil while the engine is
running can result in personal injury and/or engine damage. Do
