ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CUTTER.
IMPORTANT: This engine is not equipped with a spark arrester muffler. It is a violation of
California Public Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered,
brush-covered, or grass-covered land. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws.

Note: Do not attempt to start the unit with the PTO switch in the “ENGAGED” position.
• Engage blades by pulling out on the PTO switch.

blades to a quick stop (approximately 10 seconds). The electric clutch comes with an internal
brake.
STOPPING THE ENGINE

• Disengage cutting blades.
• Reduce engine to idle speed and allow engine to run momentarily for cooling.
• Turn the key to the off position.
BREAKING IN YOUR CUTTER
• Set the vehicle parking brake and chock the wheels to prevent accidental rolling.
• While engine is running, engage the blade control.
• In a safe environment, (i.e. no children or pets) allow the blades to rotate and the engine to run at
full throttle for 5 minutes, breaking in the belt for longer life.
• Disengage the blades and shut off the engine.
TRANSPORTING CUTTER
• Ensure Trail Cutter is turned off.
• Place Trail Cutter deck in its highest position.
• When transporting without the use of a tow vehicle, remove spark plug wire and place it where it
cannot contact the spark plug.
