Starting the Engine

Take note of the following warnings before starting your lawn mower:
• Never allow young children to operate power tools or equipment.
• Make sure children and pets stay indoors while you're working.
• Before starting up the lawn mower, walk the area. Relocate toys, hoses,
rocks and sticks. Debris such as stones, wood chips and pieces of aged
blades can be propelled at high speeds, which can cause a fatal accident.
• Slow down and take care when mowing around corners, trees, shrubbery
or other obstacles.
• Wear closed-toe, slip-resistant shoes, safety glasses, strong gloves, a hat
and ear protection. Cover your skin as much as possible.
• Ensure upper and lower handle locking levers and knobs are secure.
NOTE: Before starting the lawn mower check the oil and fuel levels.
Warranty will be void if the engine becomes faulty due to insufficient oil and
fuel levels.
Ensure the mower is set to the highest height setting so the blade is not
resting deep into the grass.
1. Press the area of the on/off switch (2) marked "I" for the ON position. (Fig R)
2. Depress the priming bulb (22) fully 3 times. (Fig S)
3. Pull the recoil starter (16) lightly until you feel resistance then pull quickly
until the engine starts. (Fig T)
Do not pull the cord with a jerk or release it until fully rewound.

EMERGENCY STOPPING

In the event the on/off switch (2) does not stop the engine, the following
processes will assist.
NEVER move the mower, or attempt to move the mower if the
controls DO NOT turn off the motor.
DO NOT attempt to lift or tip the mower on its side.
1. In the event the on/off switch (2) does not turn off the motor, press the
primer bulb fully approximately 10 times or continue to push the primer
until the engine stalls.
2. If this fails to stop the engine, remove the spark plug cover from the spark
plug (24).
IMPORTANT: If the spark plug method is used, it is recommended to wear
a rubber glove when grasping the spark plug cover.
Persons with heart conditions or any medical condition which can be
affected by electric shock should not attempt this method.
3. NOTE: If the above methods do not stop the mower, let the mower
continue to run until the tank runs out of petrol.
- DO NOT Panic.
- DO NOT put your fingers anywhere near the cutting deck.
- DO NOT leave the mower unattended if the run down method is used.
When the motor has stopped, the fuel should be drained from the fuel tank
(14), spark plug cap (24) removed (if not already removed), and the mower
must NOT be restarted until the problem has been fixed by an Authorised
Service Agent (Refer to page 28 for information relating to finding your
nearest Service Agent).
Important priming bulb information
The priming bulb (22) pump is designed to deliver fuel directly into the
engine for easy start.
Follow these guidelines and you should have trouble-free starting.
For first starting at the beginning of the mower session, pump the priming
bulb (22) 2-3 times. DO NOT EXCEED 3 pumps.
To restart a cold engine i.e after the engine has started and run for just a short
time, you will only need to pump the priming bulb (22) once.
DO NOT EXCEED 2 pumps.
To restart a hot engine, you will not need to pump the priming bulb (22) at all.
NOTE: If you over pump the engine, it will not start.
DO NOT re-pump the engine priming bulb (22).
Continue to pull the recoil starter (16) and after a number of pulls the engine
will start.
