I just bought a used 4500 lawn tractor and I have no users manual. There seems to be a lot of safety switches to set before I can even start the tractor. What are they?
First, make sure you are using fresh gas. Gas breaks down quickly with the ethanol they put in it now.
Next, you must apply the brake before you start the tractor, and be sitting in the seat.
Make sure it is neutral and make sure the blade is not engaged.
Apply the choke, then start the tractor, once the tractor starts running turn off the choke. let the engine run for a bit, then put it to full throttle.
If you get off the seat without the blades off, and the break on, the engine will shut off.
