OPERATING YOUR NEW WALK BEHIND The operation of any mower can produce foreign objects to be thrown into the eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before starting any cutting machine and while operating such a machine. The operation of any mower produces sound waves that are damaging to the human ear. Ear protection is recommended. CAUTION! Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the presence of children.
STARTING THE ENGINE See engine manufacturer’s recommendations for the type and amount of oil and fuel used. Engine must be level to accurately check and fill oil. Do not overfill. • Make sure unit is level, blade is disengaged, and transaxle in “NEUTRAL” • Check spark plug wire, oil level, and fuel level. • Check all electrical connections for build-up of debris. • If equipped with a fuel shutoff valve, turn the valve to the ON position. • Move throttle control to “FAST”, or “CHOKE” if choke is needed.
BACKING UP • Release the Operator Presence lever on the right handle bar to disengage the blade. • Check behind you to make sure your path is clear. • Move the shift lever to the reverse position “R” and depress the “GROUND CONTROL” lever on the left handle bar. TRANSPORTING • Remove the key from ignition switch if equipped. • Shut off the fuel at the engine. • Secure in place with appropriate straps while the unit is being transported. • Unit should be left in low gear to avoid any slight rolling.
