ENGINE START/STOP LEVER
This lawn mower comes equipped with an engine start/stop lever to
prevent unintentional starting and to ensure safe operation. Releasing this
lever will quickly stop the blade in case of danger. The lever must be
actuated before the lawn mower is started. When the engine start/stop
lever is released, it must return to its initial position.
Before you start mowing, you should run through this process several
times in order to ensure that the lever and actuator cables are working
properly. Repeat the test several times after the engine has started up.
When the engine start/stop lever is released, the engine must stop within a
few seconds. If not, contact Customer Service.
Warning: The blade begins to rotate as soon as the engine is started.
START THE ENGINE
1. Ensure that the ignition cable is connected to the spark plug.
2. Stand behind the lawn mower. Actuate the engine start/stop lever with one hand. The other hand must
be on the starter handle.
3. Start the engine using the starter handle. To do this pull out the handle approx. 4 –6 inches (until you
feel a resistance) and then start the engine with a sharp tug. If the engine does not start, tug the handle
again.
Caution: Never allow the actuator cable to snap back.
Caution: In cold weather, it may be necessary to repeat the starting process several times.
STOP THE ENGINE
Release the engine start/stop lever to stop the engine.
MOWING
The engine throttle on your mower has been preset to provide optimum bagging and mulching
performance for years to come.
Only use a sharp blade that is in good condition. This will prevent the grass blades from becoming frayed
and the lawn from turning yellow.
Mow in straight lines for a nice, clean look. The swaths should overlap each other by a few inches in
order to avoid stripes.
It’s import to keep the underside of the mower deck clean and remove grass build-up. This buildup will
decrease mulching quality, and make it harder for the equipment to bag the grass.
Always mow along inclines (not up and down). You can prevent the lawn mower from slipping down by
holding a position at an angle upwards. Select the cutting height according to the length of the grass. If
necessary, mow a number of times so that you never cut more than 2 inches of grass in one go.
Turn off the engine before doing any checks on the blade. Keep in mind that the blade continues to rotate
for a few seconds after the engine has been turned off. Never attempt to manually stop the blade.
