STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING - PREVENT ACCIDENTS: The cutterbar
rotates when the engine is operating.
ALWAYS operate the engine stop lever several times and
ensure the engine stop cable moves freely before starting the
engine.
ALWAYS position the mower on a level stone free grass
surface before starting the engine. Ensure that the cutterbar
is set above grass height to prevent the engine being started
under load.
Operate the throttle control lever: Push the lever to
‘choke’ position before starting a cold engine. It should
only be necessary to push the lever to the ‘fast’ position
before starting a warm engine.
Operate the engine stop lever: Use one hand to hold the
engine stop lever in the operating position firmly against the
handlebar. To start and operate the engine the engine stop
lever must be held in the operating position. If the engine
stop lever is released the engine will stop.
Operate the engine start - grip: Stand behind the mower
and maintain a firm hold on the handlebar and the engine
stop lever to prevent the mower moving towards you. Use
your right hand to hold the engine start - grip and pull slow-
ly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to crank the
engine. When the engine starts carefully return the engine
start - grip to the storage position. If the engine does not
start after 5 attempts - refer to “Fault Finding”.
Allow the engine to warm up and return the throttle lever to
the ‘fast’ position after starting a cold engine.
IMPORTANT - PREVENT ENGINE DAMAGE: Never
pull the engine start - grip when the engine is running.
