Start the engine carefully according to instructions and with feet well away from the blade.
Do not tilt the lawn mower when starting the engine. Start the mower on a level surface, free
of high grass or obstacles.
Keep hands and feet away from the rotating parts. Do not start the engine when standing in
front of the discharge opening.
7.3 OPERATION PROCEDURES
During operation, tightly hold the brake handle with both hands.
Note: During operation, when the brake handle is released, the engine will stop and thus stopping
the lawnmower from operating.
Warning! In order to avoid any unintentional start-ups of the lawn mower, it comes equipped
with an engine brake which must be pulled back before the engine can be started. When the engine
control lever is released it must return to its initial position, at which point the engine automatically
switches off.
Note: Engine brake (brake handle): Use the lever to stop the engine. When you release the lever
the engine and the blade stop automatically. To mow, hold the lever in the working position. Before
you start to mow, check the start/stop lever several times to be sure that it is working properly.
Ensure that the tension cable can be smoothly operated (i.e. is not catching or kinking in any way)
7.4 TO STOP ENGINE
CAUTION: The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after the engine is shut off.
1. Release the brake control handle to stop the engine and blade. (Fig.9)
2. Disconnect and ground the spark plug wire as instructed in the separate engine manual to
prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended.

CAUTION: your mower is designed to cut normal residential grass of a height no more than
250mm.
Do not attempt to mow through unusually tall dry or wet grass (e.g., pasture) or piles of dry leaves.
Debris may build up on the mower deck or contact the engine exhaust presenting a potential fire
hazard.
7.6 FOR THE BEST RESULTS WHEN MOWING
Clear lawn of debris. Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire or other foreign objects
which could be accidentally thrown out by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal
injury to the operator and others as well as damage to property and surrounding objects. Do not
cut wet grass. For effective mowing do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside
of the deck preventing proper mowing of the grass clippings. Cut no more than 1/3 the length of the
grass. The recommended cut for mowing is 1/3 the length of the grass. Ground speed will need to
be adjusted so the clippings can be dispersed evenly into the lawn. For especially heavy cutting in
thick grass it may be necessary to use one of the slowest speeds in order to get a clean well
mowed cut. When mowing long grass you may have to cut the lawn in two passes, lowering the
blade another 1/3 of the length for the second cut and perhaps cutting in a different pattern than
was used the first time. Overlapping the cut a little on each pass will also help to clean up any stray
clippings left on the lawn. The mower should always be operated at full throttle to get the best cut
and allow it to do the most effective job of mowing. Clean underside of deck. Be certain to clean the
underside of the cutting deck after each use to avoid a build-up of grass, which would prevent
proper mulching. Mowing leaves. The mowing of leaves can also be beneficial to your lawn. When
mowing leaves make sure they are dry and are not laying too thick on the lawn. Do not wait for all
the leaves to be off the trees before you mow.
WARNING: if you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove wire from spark plug,
thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage and repair the damage before restarting and
operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage.
The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.
7.7 DECK
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass
clippings, leaves, dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and
corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching. The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and
scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).
8. MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SPARK PLUG
Use only original replacement spark plug. For best results, replace the spark plug every 100 hours
of use.
