STARTING THE ENGINE (Illustration B + Z + E )

Only start the engine when standing behind of the mower.
Place the mower on a level surface where the grass is not too high (high grass inhibits the start of the cutter bar and makes
starting more difficult). Where this is not possible, position the mower in such a way that the cutter is facing diagonally away
from the user, although only as far as absolutely necessary.
– Press the primer pump (1)* firmly three to five times (even if the engine has come to a standstill due to lack of fuel, fill
the tank with fuel and then press the primer three to five times) B .
NOTE
Priming is usually not necessary when restarting the engine once it is warm. In cold weather however, repeated priming may
be necessary.
– Press the safety control bracket (2) on to the handle (3) and hold tight Z .
– Slowly pull the starter cable (4) until resistance is felt; then rapidly pull it out E , – the engine begins to run, then slowly
recoil the cable.
– If the engine does not start after 3 attempts, press the primer three to five times and pull the starter cable again.
