3. Throttle the engine back to low idle, then disengage
the deck clutch. Refer to the Mower Deck Operation
section for more details.
4. Let the engine run at low idle for two minutes.
5. Rotate the ignition key counter-clockwise to the “OFF”

leaving the mower.
Cold Weather Pump Clutch
This mower is equipped with a pump clutch that
disengages the pump clutch belt. When the belt is
disengaged, the engine will start easier in colder
temperatures.
To disengage the pump clutch, pull the chain until the
tension is released from the pump drive belt and latch in the
slot. Figure 3-7
To engage the pump clutch, with H-Bar
®
locked in neutral,
release the chain from the latching slot.
NOTE: When engaged the spring should be extended to a
dimension of 5.4” – 6.4” (137mm – 163mm). Figure 3-8
IMPORTANT: Never operate the unit with the pump clutch
partially engaged. Make sure the clutch is completely
released and the chain has slack.
Moving the Mower With Stalled Engine
If it becomes necessary to move the unit when the engine
is inoperative, the transaxles are equipped with bypass
valves. Before moving the unit, pull out on the bypass valve
rods and slide them into the slot to lock in position.
Figure 3-9
Do not tow the machine. Move it by hand or use a winch to
load on a trailer for transporting.
When transporting on another vehicle, the unit must be tied
down to the transporting vehicle.
IMPORTANT: Always make certain the two bypass valves
are returned to their operating position before running the
unit following repairs.
Never leave the machine unattended with key in
ignition switch.
