Check that the engine stop lever moves freely and returns to it’s rest
position when released.
Place the throttle control to the start position, ensure that the fuel tap
is in the ‘On’ position and the tank vent is open (if fitted).
Release the handlebar from it’s parked position. Hold the handlebar
together with the engine stop lever, place your foot on the deck and tilt
the mower towards you. This will take the load off the engine making
it easier to start.
The engine stop lever must be held firmly against the handlebar to
start and keep the engine running. If the engine stop lever is
released the engine will stop.
Allow the engine to warm up and move the throttle lever to the
‘run’ position after starting a cold engine.
To prevent damage never pull the engine start grip when the
engine is running.
