12. STARTING AND DRIVING THE TURF CUTTER
The machine can be switched on once all the aforementioned preliminary operations have been carried out.
Place the feed cock in the OPEN position (direction shown by the arrow, Fig. 4).
Bring the choke to the CLOSED position for a cold start (direction shown by the arrow, Fig. 4a).
Set the accelerator lever at the minimum position.
Grip the engine pull lead handle ( fig. 4b ) and pull gently until you feel the “bite”, then pull on the lead sharply to overcome the pressure, prevent kickback and switch on the engine. Repeat the procedure, if necessary, with the accelerator lever in INTERMEDIATE position. Once the engine is running, set the accelerator in the MINIMUM position and gently return the choke to the OPEN position (Fig. 4a).
Cleaning of the machine is recommended after use (see the section “Cleaning the machine”).
