OPERATION
This unit is not self propelled by a mechanical drive system. However, under some conditions the reel
(blade) rotation may cause the unit to move under it own power.
Engage the reel ONLY when you are in the operator's position behind the handle
The clutch bail is designed to be held by the operator to keep the reel belt engaged ONLY during
use. DO NOT clamp or fasten the bail to the handle. If the reel is allowed to rotate while the
operator is not in the proper operating position, the unit may move on its own. This will create an
unsafe situation in which the operator and/or bystanders may be injured.

1. Be familiar with the controls, how each functions, and what each operates.
2.. Check engine oil level. Add oil if necessary, following the engine manufacturer's recommendations. Refer
to engine manual included with literature packet.
3. Open the fuel valve.
4. Fill the fuel tank with the amount and type of fuel recommended by the engine manufacturer.
5. CHOKE: For cold starts, set the throttle lever to the half-open position and pull the choke out to the ON
position. For warm starts set the throttle to the half-open position and the choke to the OFF position.
When replacement parts are required, use genuine Ryan parts or parts with equivalent characteristics,
including type, strength and material. Failure to do so may result in product malfunction and possible
injury to the operator and/or bystanders.
