Engine Cylinder
Remove the spark plug
(page 42). Pour a tablespoon
(5 ~ 10 cc) of clean engine oil
into the cylinder. Pull the starter
rope several times to distribute
the oil in the cylinder. Reinstall
the spark plug.
Pull the starter rope slowly until
resistance is felt then return the
starter grip gently. This will
close the valves so moisture
can not enter the engine
cylinder.
Handlebar Folding
The handlebar can be folded for storage or transport by loosening the
handlebar locking knobs.
1. Remove the grass bag. You
can place it on top of the
engine, with the bag opening
to the front.
2. Loosen the handlebar locking
knobs. Spread the handlebar
struts to release the locating
pins, then swing the
handlebar forward. Prevent
the cables from getting
pinched or kinked.
When unfolding the handlebar, be sure to tighten the locking knobs
to secure the handlebar in the mowing position.
