STARTING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE
PRIMING OF THE FUEL SYSTEM
For engines equipped with a fuel primer, it may be necessary to "prime" the fuel system before attempting to start
the engine. This means removing air from the circuit and allowing the carburetor to be properly filled with fuel. For
priming:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
2. Locate the fuel choke (red button on the side).
3. Press the fuel choke several times until you feel that there is fuel in the choke.
4. Start the engine.
ATTENTION: If the carburetor is overfilled, the excess fuel will spill out through the carburetor seal
(through the carburetor duct) and the engine will not start by flooding or drowning. If you find
yourself in this situation, remove the spark plug, and * pull the manual starter to remove excess fuel
from the cylinder and reassemble the spark plug.
SELF-PROPELLED LEVER
The self-propelled function (forward steering only) allows the rear wheels to be operated automatically so that you do
not need to push the device and make cutting easier. The function is switched on and off with the self-propelled lever.
When the bar is released, the unit stops. The speed of acceleration is not directly controllable, however, it may vary
slightly with engine speed. When the engine is not running, if the unit's activation bar is activated, the acceleration
gears engage, which can make it difficult for the mower to move. It is recommended to release the activation bar from
the unit when changing direction, reversing, etc. To activate this function, hold the gear lever against the handlebar.
To deactivate the function, release the lever.
LOCKING/UNLOCKING LEVER
The locking/unlocking lever also known as the "safety lever" must be activated for the engine to start and operate. When
the bar is released, the motor stops automatically, this is a safety feature to help ensure that the machine operator is behind
it while the motor is running.
GEAR LEVER
The gear or self-propelled lever allows the machine to move
forward without the need for the user to push it. To activate
it you must push it towards the upper handlebars.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Press the fuel priming button several times in
succession (red button on the side).
2. Pull the locking/unlocking lever towards the upper
handlebar and hold it against it.
3. Pull the starter rope as necessary.
ATTENTION: The mower motor will start
working as soon as the starter rope is
pulled. Note that the machine does not
operate if the motor lock/unlock lever is
not attached to the upper handle. This is
a safety feature of the mower.
ENGINE SHUTDOWN
1. Release the lock/unlock lever.
