OPERATING THE MOWER
Starting the Engine continued
CAUTION: PREVENT DAMAGE - Before
attempting to start the engine, ensure that the
crankcase oil level is correct and check the fuel
level.
Starting a cold engine: Turn the fuel valve and
the engine switch to the ‘on’ position. Set the
throttle control lever to approximately 70% full
throttle and close the choke lever.
Turn the ignition key to the ‘on’ (B) position.
Pull the start grip with a steady motion to start the
engine.
Gradually return the choke lever to the open posi-
tion as the engine warms up.
Once the engine has warmed up increase the throt-
tle setting as required for operation.
CAUTION: PREVENT DAMAGE - Do not
allow the start grip to snap back against the
engine. Return it gently to prevent damage.
Starting a warm engine: Follow the procedure
for ‘Starting a cold engine’ except the use of the
choke will not normally be required when starting
a warm engine.
Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine: Turn the ignition key to the
‘off’ (A) position.
In normal use bring the mower travel to a stop,
disengage the cutterhead drive and engage the
parking brake before stopping the engine.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - If the
engine fails to stop when the ignition switch
is switched to the ‘off’ position (A), turn the
engine to the ‘off’ position and close the fuel
valve. The engine may also be stalled by closing
the choke and opening the throttle control or
removing the spark plug lead.
