OPERATING THE MOWER
Step 4
To engage the cutterblade hold the cutterblade stop lever against the handlebar with your right hand and with your left hand push the blade brake clutch lever forwards to engage. Release the blade brake clutch lever and it will return to its rest position.
Forward Travel
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 cutterblade stop lever is released the cutterblade 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 both ground drive clutch lever and the cutterblade stop lever.
Pull the throttle lever to the rear most position.
Emergency stop If the engine fails to stop, disconnect the spark plug lead.
