OPERATING THE TRACTOR
Starting
Always sit in the operator's seat when starting engine or operating levers or controls.
Before starting the engine, make sure that all levers (including auxiliary control levers) are in their neutral positions, that the parking brake is engaged, and that both the clutch and the Power Take-Off (PTO) are disengaged or "OFF".
Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals or bypassing the safety start switch.
