5. USE
a. Starting the tool
Before starting and using the mower, check for the presence and operation of safety
devices. Also, check the condition of the blade and its securing bolt. If necessary, replace
or repair defective items. Use only genuine original parts.
If possible, mow only when the grass is dry. If the grass is wet or excessively long, perform
two cutting passes. Make the first pass at maximum cutting height to avoid overloading the
mower. The second pass should be made at the required finished height. If grass builds up
beneath the mower's chassis, stop the engine and remove the spark plug's cap before
cleaning the underside of the cutter deck.
-
Slide the throttle lever to and for several times to ensure that it is moving smoothly and
correctly.
-
Start the mower in a clear, level area. Do not start the engine if the cutting blade is
resting on rough and uncut grass as this may cause difficulties at start‐up.
-
For a cold start, move the throttle lever to the position marked: START
-
For a hot start, move the lever to the position marked: RUN
-
Stand behind the handlebars. Move the operator control lever positioned in front of the
handlebars rearwards so that the lever is resting against the handlebars. Take hold of
the starter handle firmly with the other hand.
