due to insufficient oil and fuel levels.
1. Move the
throttle lever

Mowing advice
1. It is recommended to use the fast throttle setting and keep
the engine running at maximum speed. This will deliver
the best cut. If the speed of the engine slows this could
indicate the mower is being overloaded, by trying to cut
to much grass or the catcher may be full. Try mowing a
narrower strip, mowing slower or raise the cutting height.
2. Sharp blades cut cleanly and efficiently, if the blade is dull
it will tear the grass. This will result in the ends turning
brown. When the blades no longer cut cleanly either
sharpen them or replace them.
3. To safely operate the mower ensure all four wheels are
on the ground and be careful not to loose your footing
or control of the mower. Be very careful when mowing
uneven or rough ground. Keep a firm grip on the handle
bar at all times, always walk, never run with the mower.
