IMPORTANT: Do not use the primer to restart a
warm engine.

(Fig. 12).

Stopping the Engine

Release the blade control bail. Both the engine and blade
will stop. See your dealer immediately if they do not.
Self–propel Drive
Self-propelled Models Only
To operate the self-propel drive, simply walk forward with
your hands on the upper handle. As you move forward,
the upper handle will slide toward the mower, activating
the self–propel drive. The faster you walk, the farther the
handle will slide and the faster the mower will propel
(Fig. 13).
Note: The mower propels at the maximum speed when the
upper handle is pushed as far forward as possible.
To slow down or stop, simply slow your walking speed or
stop (Fig. 13). If, when backing up after
self–propelling, the mower does not roll backward
freely, nudge the mower forward about an inch without
engaging the self–propel drive, then pull the mower
backward.
