Before you start mowing, you should run through this process several times in order to ensure that the lever and
actuator cables are working properly. Repeat the test several times after the engine has started up. When the
engine start/stop Control is released, the engine must stop within a few seconds. If not, contact Customer Service.
Warning: The blade begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started.
START THE ENGINE
To start the engine, perform the following steps:
1. Check the oil and fuel levels.
2. Press the primer bulb 3 times.
3. Engage the engine Start/Stop Control and simultaneously pull on the recoil starter. Pull on the recoil starter
handle slowly until a slight resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the engine.
Return cord gently into the recoil starter. Never allow the cord to snap back.
4. If engine fails to start, repeat step 3.
NOTE: After repeated failed attempts to start the engine, please consult the troubleshooting guide before
attempting again. If problems persist, please call customer service.
NOTE
: D
on’t allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage to the
starter.
STOP THE ENGINE
Release the engine start/stop control to stop the engine.
MOWING
The engine throttle on your mower has been preset to provide optimum bagging and mulching performance for
years to come.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from becoming frayed and the
lawn from turning yellow.
Mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each other by a few inches in order to
avoid stripes.
It’s important to keep the underside of the mower deck clean and remove grass build-up. This buildup will
decrease mulching quality, and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by holding
a position at an angle upwards. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If necessary, mow a
number of times so that you never cut more than 2 inches of grass in one go.
Turn off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate for a few
seconds after the engine has been turned off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade. Regularly check to see if
the blade is securely attached, is in good condition and is sharp. If the contrary is the case, sharpen the blade or
replace it. In the event that the blade strikes an object, immediately turn off the lawn mower and wait for the blade
to come to a complete stop. Then inspect the condition of the blade and the blade mount. Replace any parts that
are damaged.
USING AS SIDE DISCHARGE
You should close the rear cover with mulching adapter in order to use the side discharge.
1. On the side of the mower, lift the side discharge cover.
2. Slide two hooks of side discharge chute under hinge pin on the side discharge cover. Lower the side discharge
cover.
