Note:
When you pull the recoil-start handle,
pull it lightly until you feel resistance, then pull it
sharply (
). Allow the rope to return to
the handle slowly.
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.
