• Position your mulcher on flat, dry ground and make sure the machine cannot be
moved.
• Before starting, manually turn the drum to make sure it is not obstructed and
moves smoothly. Twist off (anticlockwise) the black plastic cover in the centre of
the drum housing. Using your forefinger and thumb to grasp the hexagonal part
of the drum shaft (not the black bolt in the centre), rotate the drum both ways,
it should turn easily. With the FM6DD-MUL & FM6DDES-MUL you cannot turn the
drum all the way round but you should be able to turn partially both ways. Do
not use a socket to rotate it.
• Before starting the lower hopper bolt (51) must be nipped tight by hand or the
mulcher will not start. Tighten by a 1/4 turn at a time until it starts.

STARTING THE ENGINE
FM6DD-MUL Pull Start
• Make sure the fuel shut-off valve is in the “ON” position.
• Move the choke control lever to the “CHOKE” position (should only be needed if
the engine is cold or not starting).
• Move the throttle control lever to the “FAST” position.
• Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
• Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull until you feel resistance. If the
pull start is tight on the FM6DD-MUL, the mulcher has a blockage and should be
cleared before starting. Let the cord retract a little bit then pull the cord rapidly
to start the engine. One or two pulls usually starts the engine.
• Move the choke lever (if used for cold engine) slowly back to the “RUN” position
when the engine is running well.
• Warm up the engine by running the engine at half throttle for 1 to 2 minutes,
then advance the engine throttle control to mulching speed.
