Operating Your Lawn Mower | White Outdoor HW-656 manual

Mulching Plug

Both the mulching baffle and the mulching plug are used only for mulching purposes. Instead of collecting the grass clippings in a grass catcher, your mower has the option of recirculating the clippings back to the lawn. This is called mulching.

Throttle Control

The throttle control is located on the side of the engine. It is used to regulate the engine speed.

WARNING: The throttle control cannot be used to stop the engine. Do not adjust throttle control with the engine running.

Drive Clutch Control

The drive clutch control lever is located on the upper handle and is used to engage the drive. Squeeze lever against the upper handle to engage the drive; release drive clutch control to slow down or stop the mower.

SECTION 5: OPERATING YOUR LAWN MOWER

WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from the chute area on cutting deck. The blade will be rotating whenever the engine is running.

Be sure no one other than the operator is standing near the lawn mower while starting engine or operating mower.

Never run engine indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.

When starting the unit for the first time, face the mower against a solid object such as a wall, fence, etc. Start the unit and if it shows any signs of motion while the drive clutch control is still disengaged, shut the engine off immediately.

Gas and Oil Fill-Up

•Service the mower engine with gasoline and oil following instructions in the engine manual. If your mower was shipped with oil in the engine, fill up the required amount of gasoline only. Always make sure there is adequate oil in the engine before starting the engine.

WARNING: Never fill fuel tank indoors, with engine running or until the engine has been allowed to cool for at least two minutes after running.

Adjusting Cutting Height

•Your mower was shipped at the highest cutting height. For best results in mowing, keep the cutting height position high until it is determined which height is best for your lawn.

•Refer to height adjustments section of this manual on page 12 for instruction on how to adjust the cutting height and the handle height.

Before Starting Mower

•Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. Make certain the metal cap on the end of the spark plug wire (inside the rubber boot) is fastened securely over the metal tip on the spark plug.

•Check the drive clutch control for proper adjustment. If the mower does not propel itself or the drive wheels hesitate with the drive clutch engaged, perform the drive clutch control adjustment as instructed on page 12 of this manual.

Starting Engine

•Make sure that the drive clutch control is adjusted so the drive belt is as loose as possible.

•Move throttle control lever all the way back to the “rabbit” position.

•Push primer three times. Wait about two seconds between each push. In cold weather around 55o F or below, prime five times. Do not prime to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.

•Standing behind the mower, depress the blade control handle and hold it against the upper handle.

•Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches the start of compression cycle (rope will pull slightly harder at this point). Let the rope rewind slowly. Pull rope with a rapid, continuous, full arm stroke. Keeping a firm grip on the starter handle, let the rope rewind slowly.

To Stop Engine and Blade

•Release the blade control handle to stop the engine and blade.

WARNING: The blade continues to rotate for a few seconds after engine is shut off.

•Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended.
