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
To start the engine, perform the following steps:
1. Check the oil and fuel levels.
2. Press the primer bulb 3 times.
3. Pull on the recoil starter handle slowly until a slight resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the engine.
Return cord gently into the recoil starter. Never allow the cord to snap back.
4. If engine fails to start, repeat step 3. NOTE: After repeated failed attempts to start the engine, please
consult the troubleshooting guide before attempting again. If problems persist, please call customer
service.
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 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.
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.
