Step 2 - Start/stop bar activation
Pull the start/stop bar towards you.
Step 3 - Pull the cord handle
With the right hand, slowly but firmly pull the starter handle
and rope from the pull cord guide until you feel resistance,
then pull briskly. If the engine fails to start after three pulls,
repeat the start process. When the engine starts, gently return
the starter rope to the pull cord guide.
To stop, release the stop/start bar
Failure to start
If the engine won’t start after you have operated the starter
several times, the engine may be flooded with excess fuel.
Use the following procedure to clean and start a flooded
engine:
A. Release the stop/start bar.
B. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it.
Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-
threading. After the plug is seated, tighten it 1/8 to 1/4 turns
with the socket spanner to compress the washer.
C. Pull the stop/start bar towards the upper handle.
D. Operate the starter, as described in steps 2-3.
Mowing with the grass collection bag
WARNING!
Always observe the strictest safety procedures
when using the lawn mower.
Start the engine and allow it to run. See ‘Step 2 - Starting the
engine’.
Keep a firm grip on the upper handle and stop/start bar and
pull the self propelled lever towards you to let mower forward.
Walk along with it, never run with the mower. Be very careful
when mowing uneven or rough ground. Maintain a stable
footing.
Mow across slopes, never up and down. Be careful when
changing the direction of the mower on a slope. Do not use
the mower on a steep slope of more than 15°.
