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
machine will automatically keep pace with you (
Figure 15 ).
Figure 15
Note:
If the machine does not freely roll backward after
self-propelling, stop walking, hold your hands in place, and
allow the machine to roll a couple of centimeters (inches)
forward to disengage the wheel drive. You can also try
reaching just under the upper handle to the metal handle and
push the machine forward a couple of centimeters (inches).
If the machine still does not roll backward easily, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.
Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine, press and hold the ignition switch ( Figure
9 ) until the engine stops.
Important:
When you release the blade-control bar,
the blade should stop within 3 seconds. If it does not
stop properly, stop using your machine immediately and
contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Engaging the Blade
When you start your engine, the blade does not turn. You
must engage the blade to mow.
1. Pull the control-bar lock back ( Figure 16 ).
