7. Warming up
After starting the engine, run the engine at the idling speed (throttle lever position is fully CLOSED)
for a few minutes.
Notice:
Allow sufficient warm-up time to prevent engine damage and run the engine smoothly. The engine
should be run at idle speed for a few minutes to allow it to warm up before applying a load. This will
allow oil to reach engine parts, and allow piston clearance to reach design specifications.
8. Adjusting
Fuel adjustment
The carburetor has been adjusted to the optimum fuel supply at the factory. Don’t reset the
carburetor setting.
Note:
If adjustment is needed, if should be performed by your authorized LawnKing dealer.
9. Attach the equipment to the shoulder strap that has been put on (see chapter on “Putting
on the Shoulder Strap”).
10. To mow, hold the throttle lock (41) depressed and operate the throttle (42).
11. STOPPING
• Move the throttle lever on the equipment to the fully CLOSED(engine idle speed) position,
and the engine running at idle speed.
• Turn the engine switch to the “O” (stopping) (40) position.
Notice:
Suddenly stopping engine from high speed operation can cause engine damage. Reduce engine
speed to idle speed to idle speed for one minute before shutting engine off after high-speed,
full-load operation.
