Starting Engine
WARNING:
Be sure no one other than the operator
is standing near the lawn mower while starting
engine or operating mower. Never run engine
indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an
odorless and deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair and
loose clothing away from any moving parts on
engine and lawn mower.
WARNING:
Rapid retraction of the starter cord
(kickback) will pull your hand and arm toward the
engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones,
fractures, bruises or sprains could result.
WARNING:
Fuel and its vapors are extremely
flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can
cause severe burns or death.
• Ensure that the spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner
are in place and secured.
• Do not crank the engine with spark plug removed.
• Check the oil level.
1. Standing behind the mower, squeeze the blade control
against upper handle. See Figure 5-1.
2. Recoil Start:
Holding these two handles together firmly,
grasp recoil starter handle and pull rope out with a rapid,
continuous, full arm stroke. See Figure 5-1. Keeping a firm
grip on the starter handle, let the rope rewind slowly.
Repeat until engine cranks. Let the rope rewind each time
slowly.
Electric Start: Insert plastic push key attached to upper
handle into starter button until it snaps in. Push the electric
starter button to start the engine.
NOTE:
If the engine does not start after repeated attempts, go to
BRIGGSandSTRATTON.COM or call 1-800-317-7833 (in USA).
Stopping Engine
1. Release blade control to stop the engine and blade.
WARNING:
Wait for the blade to stop completely
before performing any work on the mower or to
remove the grass catcher.
Using Your Lawn Mower
Be sure lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects
which could damage lawn mower or engine. Such objects could
be accidently thrown by the mower in any direction and cause
serious personal injury to the operator and others.
1.
Once the engine is running and while continuing to hold
the blade control down, squeeze either (or both) drive
controls against the upper handle to propel mower. See
Figure 5-2.
2. To change speed, move speed control to the desired speed.
NOTE:
When selecting a drive speed, use the first speed
until you are comfortable and familiar with the operation
of the mower.

IMPORTANT:
If you are shifting speeds while the mower
is stationary it may be difficult to shift into first speed
under certain conditions. This is easily remedied by briefly
engaging the drive lever.
WARNING:
The operation of any lawn mower can
result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes,
which can damage your eyes severely. Always wear
safety glasses while operating the mower, or while
performing any adjustments or repairs on it.
