Pressing the primer button too many times could cause the
engine to flood.
NOTE!
When starting a warm engine, the primer does not need
to be used. If the engine stops due to a lack of petrol, refill and
press down the primer 3~5 times.
2b Start/Stop bar activation
Pull the Start/Stop bar towards you.
2c Pull cord handle
With the right hand, slowly but firmly pull the starter handle and
rope from the pull cord guide until you feel resistance, then pull
briskly. If the engine fails to start after three pulls, repeat the
start process. When the engine starts, return the starter rope to
the pull cord guide gently.
3 To stop, release stop/start bar
Failure to start
If the engine won’t start after you have operated the starter
several times, the engine may be flooded with excess fuel.
Use the following procedure to clear and start a flooded engine:
A. Release the stop/start bar.
B. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it.
Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading.
After the plug is seated, tighten 1/8 to 1/4 turns with socket
spanner of spark plug to compress the washer.
C. Pull the stop/start bar towards the upper handle.
D. Operate the starter as described above.
STEP 3 – MOWING
WARNING!
Always observe the strictest safety
procedures when using the lawnmower.
Mowing with grass bag
Start the engine and allow it to run. See ‘Step-2 Starting the
engine’.
Keep a firm grip on the upper handle with stop/start bar and
push the lawnmower forward and walk along with it, never run
with the mower. Be very careful when mowing uneven or rough
ground.
Mow across slopes, never up and down. Be careful when
changing the direction of the mower on a slope. Do not use the
mower on a steep slope of more than 15°.
NOTE!
The best result will be achieved if the grass is dry. Wet grass will
tend to clog the blade and the grass collection system. Grass
grows at different rates at different times of the year.
Never use the lowest cutting height for the first cut of the season
or in drought conditions. Only about one third of the grass
height should be cut.
If the lawnmower will not collect the cuttings efficiently, the
grass discharge chute may be blocked, the grass bag may be full,
or the underside of the mower deck may be clogged.
