OPERATING THE MOWER
Controls
Operate all control levers several times and ensure that the cables move freely. Check that the cutterblade stop and ground drive clutch levers return freely to their rest position when released.
Whilst operating the engine throttle mechanism slight resistance
should be felt when moving the lever to the ‘choke’ | position. |
Starting - Step 1
Move the throttle control lever to the ‘choke’ 
position before starting a cold engine. Move the throttle control lever to the ‘fast’ 
position before starting a warm engine.
Step 2
Stand behind the mower and hold the handlebar with your left hand. With your right hand hold the engine start - grip and pull slowly until resistance is felt, then pull rapidly to crank the engine. Carefully return the start grip to the storage position when the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after 5 attempts - refer to “Trouble
Shooting”.
Note: The cutterblade is not engaged at this stage.
Step 3
Allow the engine to warm up and move the throttle lever to the ‘fast’
position after starting a cold engine.
To prevent damage never pull the engine start grip when the engine is running.
