OPERATING THE MOWER
Reverse Travel
Hold and pull against the handlebar with both hands to reverse the mower.
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 exces- sively when making a turn. Never raise the rear of the mower when the engine is running.
Stopping
Release the ground drive clutch lever, reduce the throttle setting and release 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.
