ENGINE STARTING & STOPPING PROCEDURE
(NOTE: STARTING AN ENGINE WITHOUT ENGINE OIL OR FUEL CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE MACHINE)
STARTING THE ENGINE (COLD)
1. Make sure that your mower is on a safe, flat area (a paved area or path is ideal - avoid thick wet grass and
gravel surfaces) away from fuel or fuelling areas to make starting safe.
2. Pull the OPC/Brake lever towards the main handle. Do not let go.
3. Grab the recoil starter handle and pull lightly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly.
4. The engine should start.
5. Rehouse the recoil starter handle. Do not let it go until housed to prevent damage.
6. If the engine does not start, run through from step 1 again.
NOTE: If the engine won’t start after you have operated the starter several times, the engine may be flooded
with excess fuel. Use the following procedure to clear and start a flooded engine.
1. Release the OPC/Brake lever.
2. Remove the spark plug, dry it, and then reinstall it.
NOTE: Install the spark plug carefully by hand, to avoid cross-threading. After the plug is seated tighten 1/8
to 1/4 turn with socket spanner of spark plug to compress the washer.
3. Pull the OPC/Brake lever towards the upper handle.
4. Operate the starter as described above.
