RUNNING THE ENGINE
STARTING THE ENGINE
You will not need to change the control setting constantly while mowing because the governor holds the
selected speed, even under varying cutting loads. The positions for START, RUN, SLOW and STOP are marked.
Ensure that the engine has been prepared correctly and that the fuel tap is turned ON. We recommend
that you check the oil level before every mowing session.
COLD STARTING
1. Set the engine control to the START position
2. Turn the fuel tap to the “ON” position and wait
60 seconds.
3. MANUAL START
• Stand behind the mower. Hold the top the
mower stationary. Grasp the starter rope and
pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull
briskly.
• DO NOT pull the starter rope with a jerk or
release the rope when fully extended. Only
release the starter handle when the rope is
fully re-wound.
4. When engine has warmed up for a short time
move the engine control lever to the desired
speed position for cutting
WARNING
Never run the engine indoors or in poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide,
an odourless and deadly gas. Keep hands, feet, hair and loose clothing away from moving parts.
