STARTING THE ENGINE
Ensure that the engine has been prepared correctly and that the fuel tap is turned ON. We
recommend that you check the oil level before every mowing session.
WARNING
Never run the engine indoors or in poorly ventilated areas. engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odourless and deadly gas. keep hands, feet,
hair and loose clothing away from moving parts.
COLD STARTING
1. Set the engine control to the CHOKE position.
2. Turn the fuel tap to the “ON” position. (Fig. 6)
3. Stand to the right of the mower. Hold the top handle firmly with your left hand to hold
mower stationary. Grasp the starter rope handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt.
Then pull briskly.
Do not pull the starter rope with a jerk or release it until fully rewound.
4. When engine has warmed up for a short time move the engine control lever to the desired
speed position for cutting.

ENGINE CONTROL
This is mounted at the top left side of the handle (most models). It operates the choke, for
starting, and allows you to set the governed speed of the engine while cutting or to stop the
engine.
You will not need to change the control setting constantly while mowing because the
governor holds the selected speed, even under varying cutting loads. The positions for
CHOKE, FAST, SLOW and STOP are marked.
