TO START ENGINE
. NOTE: Due to protective coatings on the
engine, a small amount of smoke may be
present duringthe initialuse of the
product and should be considered
normal.
1. To start a cold engine, push primer
three (3) times before tryingto start.
Use a firm push. This step is not
usually necessary when starting an
engine which has already run for a few
minutes.
2. Hold operator presence control bar
down to the handle and pull starter
handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.
TO STOP ENGINE
• To stop engine, release operator
presence control bar.
NOTE: In cooler weether it may be
necessary to repeat priming steps. 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
pdming steps.
MOWlNGTIPS
• Under certain conditions, such as very
tall grass, it may be necessary to raise
the height of cut to reduce pushing
effortand to keep from overloading the
engine and leaving clumps of grass
clippings. It may also be necessary to
reduce ground speed and/or run the
lawn mower over the area a second
time.
• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the
width of cut by overlapping previously
cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging and most
cutting conditions, the engine speed
should be set in the fast position.
• Pores in cloth grass catchers can
become filled with dirt and dust with use
and catchers will collectless grass. To
prevent this, regularly hose catcher off
with water and let dry before using.
• Keep top ofengine around starter clear
and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and
extend engine life.
