CLEAR THE AREA TO BE MOWN

Using your reel mower
STARTING THE ENGINE
Ensure the reel clutch bail is in the disengaged position before start-
ing the engine. Turn the ignition switch (if tted) to the ‘ON’ position.
Starting Procedure
If the engine has not been running recently move the choke control
to the ‘ON’/
position. The choke is on the side of the engine by
the carburettor, refer engine owner’s manual.
Stand to the right of the mower, grasp the starter grip, pull slowly
until a resistance is felt and then pull forcefully to prevent kick-back.
Repeat until the engine starts. Do not pull the cord with a jerk
or release it until fully rewound. When the engine starts and has
warmed up for a short time, move the choke to the ‘OFF’ position
and throttle control to the desired speed. Should the engine not
start due to ‘ooding’, move the Choke control to ‘OFF’ and pull the
starter six times to clear the ooding.
After allowing the engine to warm up, mowing may commence by
setting the throttle lever, so the engine is running suciently fast.
Engage the clutch lever, then engage the roller cutch by moving the
roller clutch lever forward towards the handle. Adjust the throttle to
achieve a comfortable walking pace and guide the machine in the
desired direction.
To Stop the machine, release the ground speed lever, disengage the
reel lever. Then reduce the engine speed.
To move the machine without mowing. With the engine running,
leave the clutch lever o and engage the roller clutch lever and
guide the machine in the desired direction.

2. Keep the mower clean and the reel clear of debris.

MOWING FLAT OPEN AREAS
When mowing at open areas it is best to rst cut a margin ap-
proximately widths at each end where you wish to turn the mower
and then mow at right angles to the margins with parallel cuts until
the area is completed. This leaves your lawn with a very pleasing
appearance. When turning at the end of each cut, disengage the
clutch and press down on the handles, turning the mower on its
rear roller. Once the throttle has been set to suit your pace, there
is no need for further adjustment unless you should encounter
very heavy grass growth. The mower can be controlled entirely by
means of the Roller clutch bail.
GROUND SPEED LEVER
When making tight turns, release the Ground Speed Lever to its
open position and re-engage the clutch when you want to resume
cutting.
When mowing around verges, the cutting reel and rear roller should
slightly overhang the bail edge ground speed lever.
