SECTION 5: OPERATING YOUR LAWN MOWER

WARNING: Keep hands and feet away from the chute area on cutting deck. Refer to warning label on the unit.

The operation of any lawn mower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields. We recommend wide vision safety mask for over spectacles or standard safety glasses.

Gas And Oil Fill-Up

•Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your mower. Read instructions carefully.

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.

Before Starting

•Attach spark plug wire to spark plug. If your unit is equipped with a rubber boot over the end of the spark plug wire, 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.

To Start Engine And Engage Blade

•If engine is equipped with a throttle control lever, move the lever all the way forward to the FAST (rabbit) position.

•If engine is equipped with a primer, prime engine as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit.

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

•Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until engine reaches 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. Keep a firm grip on starter handle. Return it slowly to the rope guide.

•After engine starts, move throttle control lever (if so equipped) to desired engine speed. Your mower is designed to operate at full throttle. Engines with fixed throttles operate at full throttle too.

To Stop Engine And Blade

•If engine is equipped with throttle control lever on the handle, move the lever to the SLOW position.

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

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

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

NOTE: For shipping purposes your mower is set with the wheels in a low cutting height position. For best results, raise the cutting position until it is determined which height is best for your lawn. See cutting height adjustment section on this page.

Using Rotary Mower

WARNING: Never operate your unit without either the rear deflector or entire grass catcher assembly in place.

•Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage lawn mower or engine. Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious personal injury to the operator and others.

•For best results, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the mower, preventing proper discharge of grass clippings, and could cause you to slip and fall. New grass, thick grass or wet grass may require a narrower cut. Blade speed should be adjusted to the condition of the lawn.
