WARNING! Note the following before
!starting:
Do not start a lawn mower unless the cutter and all covers are fitted correctly. Otherwise the cutter could come loose and cause personal injuries.
Always move the machine away from the refuelling area before starting.
Place the machine on a flat surface. Ensure the cutting attachment cannot come into contact with any object.
On the M53 S Pro model disengage the drive on the wheel by moving the clutch lever forward.
Keep people and animals well away from the working area.
Cold engine
Ensure the ignition lead sits correctly on the spark plug.
Starting: Open the fuel tap.
Choke: Set the throttle control in the choke position.
Warm engine
Use the same starting procedure as for a cold engine, but do not set the throttle control in the choke position.
Starting
On the M53 S Pro model disengage the drive on the wheel by moving the clutch lever forward.
Pull the engine brake handle against the upper handlebar with your left hand.
Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip), now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
Never twist the starter cord around your hand.
Disengage the choke position with the throttle control when the engine is warm.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended. This can damage the machine.
