PREPARATION

ELECTRIC START MODELS

When the mower was shipped from the facto- ry, the battery was not fully charged. Before the first use, the battery must be charged for 16 hours. See “How To Charge The Battery” in the Maintenance section.

HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE

ENGINE DOES NOT CONTAIN OIL OR GASOLINE

See the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type of gasoline and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the information on safety, op- eration, maintenance, and storage.

WARNING: Follow the engine manufacturer’s instructions for the type of gasoline and oil to use. Always use a safety gaso- line container. Do not smoke when adding gasoline to the en- gine. When inside an enclosure, do not fill with gasoline. Before you add gasoline, stop the engine. Let the engine cool for several minutes.

IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and must not be used on or near any unimproved forest- covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it must be main- tained in effective working order by the op- erator.

In the State of California the above is re- quired by law (Section 4442 of the Califor- nia Public Resources Code). Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. See an Authorized Ser- vice Center for a spark arrester for the muffler.

ENGINE TIPPING

When you service the engine, inspect the blade, or clean the underside of the mower housing; make sure to always tip the engine with the spark plug up (see Figure 15). Trans- porting or tipping the engine with the spark plug down will cause:

SHard starting.

SEngine smoking.

SSpark plug fouling.

SOil or gas saturation of the air filter.

Figure 15

IMPORTANT: Actual sustained horsepow- er will likely be lower due to operating limi- tations and environmental factory.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

Before you use the mower, check the assem- bly of the wheels, the handle, and the controls. Make sure all the fasteners are tight. Make sure the throttle control and the engine stop le- ver work correctly.
