Note:
If the machine does not start after several
attempts, 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 machine will automatically keep pace
with you (

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 pushing the machine
forward a couple of centimeters (inches). If the
machine still does not roll backward easily, contact an
Authorized Service Dealer.

that the blade stops within 3 seconds
after releasing the blade-control bar.
