the upper part of the handle to the lower part
of the handle. As you fold the handle, make
sure the cables are not around the loose fas-
teners and do not become damaged. Rotate
the upper part of the handle toward the back
of the unit.

How To Prepare The Mower For Storage
WARNING: Do not remove petrol
while inside a building, near a fire,
or while you smoke. Petrol fumes
can cause an explosion or a fire.

2. Let the engine run until it is out of fuel.
3. Drain the oil from the warm engine. Fill the
engine crankcase with new oil.
