OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEIGHT (Fig. 7)
To adjust the height, pull the adjuster towards the wheel to disengage from
the lug and rotate. To lower the blade, rotate the adjuster towards the rear of
the lawnmower. To raise the blade, rotate the adjuster towards the front of the
lawnmower. When making adjustments make sure that the adjuster fits over one of
the five lugs.
STARTING THE ENGINE (Fig. 8 - 9)
WARNING: Do not operate the machine in closed or poorly ventilated areas as
the exhaust gases contain poisonous substances. Keep hands, feet, hair and
clothing away from all the moving parts of the machine. The exhaust and other
parts of the machine will become hot during use. Make sure that the blade is
securely fastened before starting the engine.
1. Before starting the engine, make sure that the spark plug cap is located on
the spark plug and that the machine is filled with sufficient oil and gasoline, as
described earlier in this manual.
2. To start the engine from cold, back off the throttle control lever (Fig. 8).
3. Grip the handle and hold down the operator presence control (OPC) bar with
your left hand.
4. With your right hand, slowly but firmly pull the starter handle and rope out until
resistance is felt.
5. Let the rope rewind slowly and then pull it with a rapid full arm stoke. If the
engine fails to start after three pulls, repeat the starting process as above.
6. The engine should now start. Allow the starting handle to recoil and gently
release back into the housing.
7. Once the engine is running, move the throttle control lever to its most forward
position, to a moderate speed that suits cutting conditions (Fig. 9).
IMPORTANT: To start a warm engine, leave the throttle control lever in its
position.
