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

Fill the engine with the proper amount of oil. 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 gasoline contain- er. Do not smoke when adding gasoline to the engine. When inside an enclosure, do not fill with gasoline. Before you add gaso- line, stop the engine. Let the engine cool for several minutes.

NOTE: The operation of a new engine will sometimes result in a slight amount of smoke. This smoke is caused by paint or oil on or around the muffler. This is normal and only expected during initial operation.

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.

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.

If mower is equipped with height adjusters,

make sure the height function properly. Before starting the engine, make sure each height ad- juster is set at the desired height. See “How To Adjust The Height Of Cut” in the Maintenance sections.
