How do I safely start the engine on the TB30R?

Insert the key into the ignition switch module, place the PTO lever in the disengaged (OFF) position, and engage the parking brake. Move the throttle/choke control all the way forward into the choke position, then turn the ignition key clockwise to the START position — do not hold the key in the START position for longer than ten seconds. After the engine starts, release the key and move the throttle to the FAST position to deactivate the choke. (Page 19)
