OPERATING THE MOWER
Forward Travel
(Autodrive Only)
Hold the handlebar and operate the ground drive clutch lever to power the mower in a forward direction.
When the ground drive clutch lever is disengaged the mower may be pushed. This feature is useful when mowing in confined areas.
If the engine stop lever is released the engine will stop.
Turning
To make a wide turn steer the mower with the handlebar in the direction required.
To make a tight turn release the ground drive clutch lever, apply downward pressure on the handlebar to raise the front wheels just above ground level and steer in the required direction.
To prevent accidents do not raise the front of the mower excessively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the mower when the engine is running.
Stopping
Release the ground drive clutch lever and the engine stop lever.
Emergency stop: Release both ground drive clutch lever and engine stop lever together.
If the engine fails to stop, move the throttle lever to the ‘slow’ position and disconnect the spark plug lead.
