operation

Slowly push the choke control down when the engine has started.

Set the desired engine speed with the throttle. Allow the engine to run at a moderate speed, “half throttle” for 3-5 minutes before loading it to heavily. USE FULL THROTTLE WHEN MOWING (no choke).

WARNING!

Engine exhaust and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals considered to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive system damage. The engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is a odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Do not use the machine in enclosed spaces.

WARNING!

Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases. Keep sparks, flame and smoking materials away from batteries. Always wear eye protection when around batteries.

If your battery is too weak to start the engine, it should be recharged. (See Battery in the Maintenance section.)

If jumper cables are used for emergency starting, follow this procedure:

Jumper cables

1.Connect each end of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal on each battery, taking care not to short against chassis.

2.Connect one end of the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal of the fully charged battery.

3.Connect the other end of the BLACK cable to a good CHASSIS GROUND on the mower with the discharged battery, away from the fuel tank and battery.

To remove cables, reverse order

1.Remove BLACK cable first from chassis and then from the fully charged battery.

2.Remove RED cable last from both batteries.
