Preparing for
Starting Engine
WARNING!
Injury hazard! Start the mower only when you are
standing behind the grip handle.
The starter coil handle (14) is easily reachable from this
position. If the starter coil handle is still coiled in the
engine, requiring you to stand beside the mower to start
it, your feet are in danger of injury because they are in
the cutting rotation zone. Starting the engine only while
standing behind the grip handle protects you from foot
injury from a running engine.
Park the mower on a level surface.
Avoid areas:
With high grass (hindering blade rotation).
With gravel, dust, and broken surfaces.
The cutting tool produces strong air movement.

(see p. II) (for Type PM53A)
For a cold start, depress the rubber fuel injection primer
(12) once. After about 2 seconds, depress the primer
once more. The primer should be depressed only 2 or 3
times for a cold start. If the engine is warm, starting is
usually possible without depressing the primer. Do not
depress the primer (12) unnecessarily; each depression
injects fuel into the carburettor intake. Flooding the
engine may prevent ignition. In temperatures below
10°C, however, it may be necessary to pump the primer
up to 5 times.
Ready-Start Engines (for Types HM46 and HM46A)
No additional preparations are necessary.
Stand behind the mower and pull the engine brake bar
(13) to the handle bar (1) with one hand; with the other
hand grasp the starter coil handle (14) hanging in the
cable holder (11).
