Starting the engine
Note. Before starting the mower check the oil and fuel
levels. Warranty will be void if the engine becomes faulty
due to insufficient oil and fuel levels.
Ensure the mower is set to the highest height setting so the
blades are not resting deep into the grass.
1. Move the throttle
lever (3) to
the cold start
position.
2.
Push the throttle
forward, pull the
recoil starter (9)
lightly until you
feel resistance
then pull quickly until the
engine starts. Do not pull the
cord with a jerk or release it
until fully rewound.
3. Once the lawn mower has
started and warmed up
move the throttle lever to the
mid position or choke open
position.
Running the engine
1. Once the
engine warms
up, move the
throttle to RUN
(WORKING)
position.
2. Push the throttle
to the suitable
place, to achieve
the required rotation speed.
Stopping the
engine
To stop the engine
pull the throttle right
back to the OFF
position.
Mowing advice
1. It is recommended to use the fast throttle setting and
keep the engine running at maximum speed. This will
deliver the best cut and extend engine life. If the speed of
the engine slows this could indicate the mower is being
overloaded, by trying to cut too much grass or the catcher
may be full. Try mowing a narrower strip, mowing slower,
raising the cutting height or emptying the catcher.
2. Before mowing always check and clear the grassed area
for all foreign objects, especially solid ones semi concealed
in the ground such as rocks, stumps and garden stakes.
3. Sharp blades cut cleanly and efficiently, if the blade is
dull it will tear the grass. This will result in the ends
turning brown. When the blades no longer cut cleanly
either sharpen them or replace them.
