primingsteps, in warmer weather over priming may cause
flooding and engine will not start. If you do flood engine,
wait a few minutes before attempting to start and do not
repeat priming steps.
MOWING TIPS
• Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, itmay
be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce
pushingeffortand tokeep from overloadingtheengine
and leaving clumpsof grass clippings.
• Forextremelyheavycutting,reduce thewidthofcutby
overlapping previouslycut path and mow siowly.,
• Forbetter grass bagging and most cuttingconditions,
the enginespeed should be set inthe fast (_) position°
• For side discharge lawn mowers, cutting in a counter_
clockwise direction, starting at the outside of the area
to be cut, spreads grass clippings more evenly and
puts less load on the engine° To keep clippingsoff of
walkways, flower beds, etc., make the first cuts in a
clockwise direction_
o Poresincloth grass catchers can become filtedwithdirt
and dust with use and catchers will collect less grass.,
Toprevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water
and let dry before using.
