12. STARTING AND DRIVING THE FLAIL MOWER

The  machine  can  be  switched  on  once  all  the  aforementioned  preliminary  operations
have been carried out.

§

Place the feed cock in the OPEN position (direction shown by the arrow, Fig. 4).

§

Bring the choke to the CLOSED position for a cold start (direction shown by the arrow,
Fig. 4a).

§

Set the accelerator lever at the minimum position.

§

Grip the engine pull lead handle ( Fig. 4b ) and pull gently until you feel the 

“bite”, then

pull on the lead sharply to overcome the pressure, prevent kickback and switch on the
engine.  Repeat  the  procedure,  if  necessary,  with  the  accelerator  lever  in
INTERMEDIATE  position.  Once  the  engine  is  running,  set  the  accelerator  in  the
MINIMUM position and gently  return the choke to the OPEN position (Fig. 4a).

Cleaning  of  the  machine  is  recommended  after  use  (see  the  section 

“Cleaning  the

machine

”).
