(NEUTRAL).
Note: Do not use primer to restart a warm engine after a
short shutdown. However, cool weather may require
priming to be repeated.
5. Pull recoil starter out until positive engagement
results; then pull vigorously to start the engine. Allow
the engine to warm-up. During warm-up, the
equipment can be operated. Regulate throttle as
desired when engine starts. Move ground speed control
to desired setting.
6. BLADE AND TRACTION OPERATION
(Fig. 13)—When control bar is in position "A", slide
control bar to right and raise to position "B" to engage
blade. Squeeze control bar against handle to position
"C" to drive. To disengage traction drive but keep
blade engaged, gradually release control bar to
position "B". To self-propel with blade disengaged,
simply squeeze control bar against handle to position
"C", without sliding control bar to right.
7. STOPPING—To stop engine, release control bar and
move throttle control to
plug if mower will be unattended or not used.
Using Discharge Tunnel Plug
1. Make sure engine is off. Open the discharge door by
pulling forward on the handle and moving it rearwards
(Fig. 6). Hold the discharge door handle to prevent the
spring-loaded door from closing while inserting the
plug.
2. Since the plug is slightly wider than the discharge
tunnel opening, you must rotate the plug clockwise
slightly while inserting it (Fig. 6). Make sure the arrow
on the plug decal is pointing upwards.
