IMPORTANT: DO NOT tip machine with carburetor or spark plug down. Oil from crankcase will saturate the air filter and cause the engine to be hard to start or not start at all. If contamination does occur, the air filter will have to be replaced.

STEP 4: Tip mower back against the upper handle to gain access to cutting blade. Remove foam shipping block from cutting blade. This must be removed before starting the engine.
