Determine The Starting System
Before starting the engine, you must determine
the type of starting system that is on your
engine. Your engine will have one of the
following types:
• Auto-Choke System: This features an
automatic choke that does not have a
manual choke or primer.
• Primer System: This features a primer on
the engine.
• Manual Choke System: This features
a choke on the engine and no primer.
Choke systems located on the engine will
feature an engine switch and may also
feature a fuel shut-off valve.
• Auto-Choke/Electric Start System:
This features an automatic choke and an
electric start switch on the handle.
To start your engine, follow the instructions for
your type of starting system.
NOTE: Equipment may have remote controls.
See the equipment manual for location and
operation of remote controls.
Starting the Engine
WARNING!
Always keep hands and feet clear of equipment
moving parts. Do not use a pressurized starting
fluid. Vapors are flammable.
Auto-Choke System
1. Standing behind the mower, depress
the blade control and hold it against the
upper handle. See Figure 5-1.
2. Pull the starter grip lightly until resistance
is felt, then pull rapidly to overcome
compression, prevent kickback and start
engine. Repeat if necessary.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the starter grip to
snap back against the engine. Return it gently to
prevent damage to the starter.
