CAUTION
: Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Empty the petrol tank,
start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See
Storage Instructions for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
START ENGINE
To start the engine, first make sure that the spark plug cap is on and that the machine is filled with
sufficient oil and fuel.
Push Prime Button several times to prime.
NOTE:
Due to protective coating on the engine, a small amount of smoke may be present during
the initial use of the product and should be considered normal.
Move throttle control to “Start” position and pull starter rope to start.
Do not allow starter rope to snap back.
NOTE:
In cold conditions, it’s necessary to push the prime button on the air filter before pulling the
starter coil.
When you push the prime button, it will pump the fuel direct from carburetor to combustion chamber.

STOP ENGINE
To stop the engine, turn the throttle control to STOP position.
WARNING!
The blade will continue to rotate for a few seconds after the engine has stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug cap if the lawnmower is to be left unattended.
MOWING TIPS
Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of
cutting to reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of
grass clippings. It may also be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawn
mower over the area a second time.
For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by over lapping previously cut path
and mow slowly.
Pores in the cloth grass catcher can become filled with dirt and dust with use and the catcher will
collect less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water and let dry before using.
