ENGINE STARTING AND STOPPING
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. For manual starting, pull the starter handle towards the top handle about
10-15cm until you feel a resistance and then start the engine with a strong
pull. For electric start, pull the starter handle and press the button until it
starts. If the engine is cold, press the starter button 3-5 times. Pull the lock/
unlock lever toward the top handle and hold it against it.
2. Once the engine is running put the starter rope in the cable guide
ATTENTION
: The mower motor will start working as soon as the
starter cord is pulled. Note that the machine does not work if the engine locking/unlocking lever is
not brought to the upper handle. This is a safety function of the lawn mower.
LOCKING/UNLOCKING LEVER
The lock/unlock lever also known as the “safety lever” must be activated for the
engine to start and run. When the bar is released, the engine stops automatically, a
safety feature to help ensure that the machine operator is behind the bar while the
engine is running.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Release the gear lever to lock the engine. When the locking/unlocking lever returns to
its initial position the engine will automatically shut down
.
ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE HANDLE
The handlebar must be adjusted to the height of the work to be carried out. Loosen the locking levers, adjust the
handlebar to the required height and then re-adjust the levers to close them, making sure that the toothed wheels of
the locking system are properly seated between them.
ATTENTION
: For more safety, the height adjustment of the handlebar is limited by a locking
system. Do not attempt to adjust the handlebar to a height where the toothed wheels are not
engaged with each other.
ADJUSTING CUTTING HEIGHT
This mechanism raises/lowers the mower deck and has several steps. When
setting cutting height, keep in mind that weeds can spread more easily in
very short grass. If the grass is long, it may be necessary to cut it in several
passes, lowering the cutting height little by little. To set the cutting height:
1. Pull the height adjustment lever outward so that it disengages
with the teeth.
2. Move the lever forward to raise, or backward to lower the
cutting height.
3. Release it at the desired height.
