Turn the fuel tap, situated on the side of the carburettor, to the ON position. 

 

Move the grey choke lever, situated on the side of the carburettor, to the choke position.

Check that the cylinder and drive clutch levers are in the 

disengaged 

position.

 

 

Move the on/off switch, situated on the mower crossrail, to the ON position. 

 

Pull the starter rope lightly until you feel resistance then return the cord prior to pulling the 
motor over firmly and briskly.  Do not allow the rope to snap back; return it by hand to prevent 
damage to the starter.

Increase the throttle setting and remove the choke lever setting.

 

 

Stopping the Engine:

 

 

Move the throttle to the idle position 

 

Turn the engine switch to the off position 

 

Turn the fuel tap to the off position when storing the mower at the end of the day.

 

 

Transporting the mower:

 

Hooks have been provided in the upper section of the mower handles for the catcher to be stored in 
an upturned position over the engine.  This minimises the storage space required for the mower and 
provides protection for both the catcher and mower. 
The drive clutch lever should be engaged to minimise free movement of the mower when 
transporting the mower and the handles should be securely lashed to prevent the mower falling 
backwards from acceleration.  If the mower falls or is placed on it’s back, the engine oil will run into 
the carburettor, exhaust and cylinder.  (The motor will require stripping down before it can be 
restarted!) 

 

Cleaning the mower:

 

Do not hose the engine or the mower after use.  Water, under pressure, will reduce the life of the 
mower bearings, adversely affect the smooth operation of the cylinder clutch and split rear roller 
mechanisms.  Neither is it recommended by the engine manufacturer. 
Grass clippings can be readily removed with a blower or compressed air and the paintwork can be 
wiped over if required. 

 

Operating the Mower: 

The drive clutch lever can be used in a similar manner to a car clutch.   Fully released, the forward 
drive is immediately engaged or the lever can be eased in, on a more gradual basis, to allow the 
mower to be edged forward.  This level of control is particularly useful when turning or manoeuvring 
the mower in difficult areas.
