running or still warm, allow it to cool before fuelling.

Starting the engine

 Note. 

 Before starting the mower check the oil and fuel levels.

the ON position.

2. Depress the priming bulb (17) fully 2-3 

times.

3.  Pull the recoil starter (9) lightly until you feel resistance then pull 

quickly until the engine starts.
