How do I start the engine on the Craftsman 917.275700?

Sit on the seat, depress the clutch/brake pedal, set the parking brake, place the motion control lever in neutral (N), move the attachment clutch to disengaged, move the throttle to fast, and pull the choke out for a cold start. Insert the key and turn clockwise to the start position, releasing as soon as the engine starts. Do not run the starter continuously for more than fifteen seconds per minute.
