OPERATION
Never use stale or contaminated gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting
dirt or water in the fuel tank.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap.
2. Fill the fuel tank with fuel. To allow for expansion of the fuel, do not fill
above the bottom of the fuel tank neck. Do not overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel
before starting the engine.
3. Install the fuel tank cap and tighten it until it clicks.
4. Move lawn mower at least 10 feet away from the fuel container/source and
site before starting the engine.
WARNING
Be sure no one other than the operator is standing near the lawn mower
while starting engine or operating mower. Never run engine indoors or
in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair and loose
clothing away from any moving parts on engine and lawn mower.
TO START ENGINE
1. Grasp recoil starter handle and pull rope slowly until resistance is felt, then
pull with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keeping a firm grip on the
starter cord handle, let the rope rewind slowly. Repeat until engine cranks.
Let the rope rewind each time slowly.
WARNING
Keep a firm grip on the starter cord handle to prevent rapid retraction of
starter cord (kickback). Rapid retraction can pull hand and arm toward
engine faster than you can let go, and result in broken bones, fractures,
bruises or sprains.
TO STOP ENGINE
1. Push and hold the ON/OFF switch until the mower engine stops.
See Figure 9.
WARNING
Wait for the blade to stop completely before performing any work on the
mower.
Using Your Lawn Mower
Be sure lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage
lawn mower or engine. Such objects could be accidently thrown by the mower in
any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.
1. Once the engine is running, press down on the lockout lever. See Figure 10.
2. Pull the blade control back against the drive control. See Figure 10.
