Starting the Engine
Important:
The mower has a safety switch that
prevents you from starting the mower unless you
first install the mulch plug or the grass bag securely
on the mower.
1. Install the mulch plug (Figure 18) or the grass bag
(Figure 19) on the mower.

3. Start the engine using the recoil starter (Figure 20).
4. If the mower does not start in 1 or 2 pulls, press the
primer button 1 or 2 times and try starting it again.
Note:
If the mower still does not start, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
Using the Self-propel Drive
To operate the self-propel drive, simply walk with your
hands on the upper handle and your elbows at your
sides, and the mower will automatically keep pace with
you (Figure 21).

Note:
If, when backing up after self-propelling, the
mower does not roll backward freely, nudge the mower
forward about an inch or two without engaging the
self-propel drive (Figure 21), then pull the mower
backward.
Stopping the Engine
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
To stop the engine, release the blade control bar
(Figure 22).
Important:
When you release the blade control
bar, both the engine and blade should stop within
3 seconds. If they do not stop properly, stop using
your mower immediately and contact an Authorized
Service Dealer.
