SELF-PROPELLED
To self-propel your lawnmower,
1. Start the engine as stated above.
2. Push the drive lever up to the main handle. The lawnmower will start to move with the engine running
and blade rotating. It is easier to manually push the machine a couple of steps and then engage the self-
propelled motion to ensure the grass is not damaged and the machine does not take off, away from the
user suddenly.
3. To stop the lawnmower moving, just simply release the drive lever in good time.
4. The self-propel speed has been set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
MOWING WITH COLLECTOR
WARNING
Always observe the strictest safety procedures when using the lawnmower. Carefully read the safety
instructions of this manual before using the lawnmower.
Never open the rear flap when the grass bag has been detached (to be emptied) and the engine is still
running. The rotating blade can cause serious injuries!
1. Select your required height of cut setting.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run and warm up. See Starting the Engine section of the manual.
3. Keep a firm grip on the upper handle with OPC/Brake lever always engaged when attempting to cut.
4. Pull the Drive lever up to the handle when you wish to self-propel.
EMPTYING THE GRASS BAG
As soon as grass clippings start to trail the lawnmower, it is time to empty the grass bag.
NOTE: Before taking off the grass collector, switch off the engine and wait until the blade has come to a
stop.
1. To take off the grass collector, use one hand to lift up the rear cover and the other to grab onto the grass
collector carry handle. The rear cover automatically falls down after removing the grass collector and
closes off the rear chute opening.
2. Empty the grass debris from the grass collector and refit.
NOTE: If any grass residue is caught in the discharge chute, clean it using a brush. Do not remove grass
debris in the mower deck or on the blade by hand or with your feet. Instead use suitable tools such as a
brush or broom. To ensure that the cut grass can be collected into the grass collector, the discharge
opening and inside the mower deck must be cleared of any blockage.
3. Grab the recoil starter handle and pull lightly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
4. The engine should start.
5. Rehouse the recoil starter handle. Do not let it go until housed to prevent damage.
6. Move the throttle lever back to your required blade rotation speed between Tortoise/Slow and Hare/Fast
symbols.
7. If the engine does not start, run through from step 1 again.
NOTE: if the engine won’t start after you have operated the starter several times, the engine may be
flooded with excess fuel. Use following procedure to clear and start a flooded engine.
1. Release the OPC/Brake lever.
2. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it.
NOTE: Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading. After the plug is seated tighten
1/8 to 1/4 turn with socket spanner of spark plug to compress the washer.
3. Pull the OPC/Brake lever towards the upper handle.
4. Operate the starter as described above.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Release the OPC/Brake lever. The engine will come to a stop and a couple of seconds later, the blade will
stop rotating.
2. Or you can move the throttle lever to the STOP position.
