Starting the Engine
Note: You can start the engine either from the operating
position (Figure 12) or at the engine (with the recoil-start
handle out of the rope guide).
Pull the recoil starter lightly until you feel resistance, then pull
it sharply. Allow the rope to return to the handle slowly.
Note: If the machine does not start after several attempts,
contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Using the Self-propel Drive
To operate the self-propel drive, simply walk with your hands
on the upper handle and your elbows at your sides, and the
machine will automatically keep pace with you (Figure 13).
Note: If the machine does not freely roll backward after
self-propelling, stop walking, hold your hands in place, and
allow the machine to roll a couple of inches (centimeters)
forward to disengage the wheel drive. You can also try
reaching just under the personal pace handle to the metal
handle and push the machine forward a couple of inches

(centimeters). If the machine still does not roll backward
easily, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Stopping the Engine
To stop the engine, press and hold the ignition switch
(Figure 7) until the engine stops.
Important: When you release the blade-control bar,
the blade should stop within 3 seconds. If it does not
stop properly, stop using your machine immediately and
contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Engaging the Blade
When you start your engine, the blade does not turn. You
must engage the blade to mow.
1. Pull the control-bar lock back (Figure 14).
2. Pull the blade-control bar to the handle (Figure 15).
3. Hold the blade-control bar against the handle
(Figure 16).
