Stopping the Engine
T
o stop the engine, stop walking.
• Release the safety stop lever to brake and stop the
engine. This will also occur if lever is released in
emergency conditions.
• Remove the spark plug cover after stopping the
engine to avoid accidental starting.
Important: When you release the Safety stop lever,
both the engine and blade should stop within 3
seconds. If they do not stop properly, stop using your
mower immediately and contact your Authorised
Service Dealer.
Mowing
Warning: The grass catcher must be installed when
mowing.
• For best results, adjust the lawnmower cutting
height so that the lawnmower cuts off only the top
1/3 of the grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown it
will be necessary to raise the height of the cut to
reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading
the engine.
• Press down the push handle and lift the front
wheels to make a turn with your Pope mower.
Be careful of the rotating blades.
