9. OPERATING THE LAWN MOWER
9.1 START UP OPERATION –
FIGS. 13 - 15
Firstly, check the machine and add fuel and
lubricating oil.
Push the priming bulb(9)fully 2 – 3 times. Take
the pull cord starter and maintain it against the
upper handle. To start engine only the engine
operation lever (1) needs to be closed, pull on the
recoil starter handle (8)until you can feel
resistance and then pull harshly.
9.2 MOWING
Warning!
Never open the rear flap when the grass collection
bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the
engine is still running. The rotating blade can
cause serious injuries!
Never run with the mower and take care when
mowing uneven or rough ground. Mow across
slopes, never up and down. Be careful when
changing the direction of the mower on a slope. Do
not mow excessively steep slopes. The best result
will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will tend
to clog the blade and the grass collection system.
Grass grows at different rates at different time of the
year. Never use the lowest cutting height for the
first cut of the season or in drought conditions. Only
about one third of the grass height should be cut.
When mowing with mulching, to ensure that the cut
grass can be scattered efficiently, do not cut high
or wet grass. When you have been cutting for
several minutes, stop the mower, and clean the
blade and the deck.
For both models, press the drive lever (2),
the clutch will close and the lawn mower will start
to move with the engine running. To stop the
moving lawn mower, simply release the drive lever
(2) in plenty of time. To stop the engine from
running, simply release the engine operation lever
(1).
