OPERATING THE LAWNMOWER.
CAUTION
Never start or run the engine
indoors or poorly ventilated areas, e
ngine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas, which can
be fatal. Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from
moving parts.
Starting the lawnmower - cold starts:
Open the fuel shut off valve (where fitted).
Move the throttle control to choke / start
position. For lawnmowers fitted with non-
choke engines, the primer bulb must be
firmly pressed three to four times after the
throttle control lever has been moved to the
run position.
1. Grasp the starter grip and pull slowly until resistance is felt and then pull the starter cord
with a rapid, smooth movement to start the engine. Do not allow the cord to snap back.
2. For models without a ‘zone start’ feature, place your foot against the mower body then
grasp the starter grip.
3. Repeat the starting procedure above if necessary.
4. When the engine starts, move the throttle to the run position and to the speed desired.
5. In the case of flooding occurring, move the throttle to the stop position, pull the starter cord
5 - 6 times, then move the throttle lever to the choke / start or run position and pull the
starter cord as above.
Starting the lawnmower - hot starts:
Follow the above #1 to #5 steps for restarting after emptying catcher or short rest periods. A
warm engine will usually start in the idle position. However, if it fails to start, follow the cold start
procedure.
Stopping the engine:
To stop the engine, move the throttle control to the stop position. Turn the fuel shut-off valve
(where fitted) to the close / off position when the mower is not in operation to prevent fuel
leakage from the carburettor.
