MOWING PRECAUTIONS

Before operating the mower for the first time, please review

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (page 4) and the previous

chapter, BEFORE OPERATION (page 12). Even if you have operated

other mowers, take time to become familiar with how this mower works

and practice in a safe area until you build up your skills. For your

safety, avoid starting or operating the engine in an enclosed area such

as a garage. Your mower’s exhaust contains poisonous carbon

monoxide gas which can collect rapidly in an enclosed area and cause

illness or death.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Before starting, always release the

drive clutch lever, so the mower will

not move forward when you

operate the starter.

1. Turn the fuel valve to the ON

position.

2. Move the throttle lever to the

proper starting position.

COLD ENGINE:

Move the throttle lever to the

CHOKE position.
