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 22).

Nudge here
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 22), then pull the mower
backward.

When you start the engine the blade does not turn. You
must engage the blade to mow.

control bar to the handle (Figure 23).
